However, the idea and concept of human geography did not really start to catch on until the 18th and 19th centuries.<\/p>\n<p>The Royal Geographical Society was started in the 1800s by the UK, but it did not really start to take action until the 1900s. However, the National Geographic Society of the US was founded in 1888 and started to publish a magazine about geography and that magazine is still published today.<\/p>\n<p>The National Geographic Society is still active in other ways, promoting geographical research and education. That&#8217;s a brief look at human geography, what it is, and its development throughout the years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is Human Geography?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":{"0":"post-8390","1":"page","2":"type-page","3":"status-publish","5":"page_category-geography-videos","6":"page_type-video","7":"page_domain-social-studies"},"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO Pro 5.0.1.1 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"As a social science, human geography not only studies physical land but the people and cultures indigenous to that land.
