Asia widespread poverty, want, and depression have been
substituted for comparative competence, prosperity, and
contentment. Disorder, wars, and migrations have arisen.
Race has been caused to mix with race under new physical
conditions, which have given rise to new habits and char-
acter. The impulse toward change and migration received
in the vast arid regions of Central Asia has spread outward,
and involved all Europe in the confusion of the Dark Ages.
And more than this, the changes of climate which affected
Central Asia were not confined to that region, apparently,
but extended over a large part of the inhabited earth.
Everywhere they were the most potent of geographic influ-
ences, working sometimes for progress and sometimes for
destruction. Such in brief is the broad conclusion to which
we are led by a study of Central Asia as an example of
the influence of geography upon history. Before accepting
it, it behooves us to examine with the closest scrutiny all
the evidence in relation to climatic changes which may
have been so momentous in the world's history.
