Geographically Bound

Hippies, in general, love the West coast and hate the East coast (except Vermont). They can’t survive in New York, or Jersey, or Philly, or Boston, or DC, or Atlanta, or Jacksonville, or even Miami, which is probably the most hippie-friendly place along the Atlantic. Nope, the natural habitat for hippies extends roughly from Santa Cruz to Seattle, and from the Pacific coast eastward to the Berkeley foothills in Cali and the Cascades in Oregon and Washington. Further south is SoCal, where it’s still lawful to execute hippies on sight; further north is Canada, which is too cold for hippie clothes; further east is too rural (where will they get their almond milk?); and further west is, well, too wet. So really, the geographic range for hippies is fairly limited, kinda like those damn pandas in China (who for some reason can’t figure out that things other than bamboo are edible.) The point is, hippies aren’t really all that evolved, as far as humans go. Pretty much every other human subpopulation can thrive in a wide variety of geographic locations. They might not necessarily LIKE to live in central Florida (who would?) but Alaskan Inuit could, in fact, survive there. Not hippies, though. They almost universally shrivel and die outside their precious Northwest habitat. Anyone wanting a truly unique and entertaining thesis subject might want to study this phenomenon.
