Human Geography is a branch of Geography that concentrates its attention on understanding the interaction between humans and the space they live in. Human Geography in reality concentrates on the prototypes and developments that mold the connection between the environment and humanity. In short Human Geography particularly takes care of the sources and effects of the spatial distribution of human activity on the Earth’s crust.
One of the notable human geographers is the German Karl Ritter, one of the founding fathers of modern geography together with Alexander von Humboldt, a German as well. Herr Doktor Ritter brought a new beginning to the subject of geography. Ritter was also a pedagogue who concentrated his pedagogical studies on geography teaching and learning. For Ritter the teaching of geography resembled the teaching of physiology and comparative anatomy of the earth: The Earth’s rivers, mountains, glaciers and more were so many distinct organs, each with its own appropriate functions; and, as such this physical frame is the basis of the man, determinative to a large extent of his life, so the structure of each country is a leading element in the historic progress of the nation.
