And a relevant video how it affected human development:

I actually prefer cooler weather. I hate unbearable heat, when your clothes get sticky and become one with your skin.

According to the analyst video above, the yellow area is apparently best for human development. Ethiopia got lucky, Djibouti got fucked. @CaliTedesse

Hargeisa is apparently top class for civilization

 

[DR OSMAN]

You can't possibly get a civilization out of a desert. People need water source to feed their animals. Rivers make sense. If you got animals, your first priority is water. If you see a river, u will camp next to it and allow your animals to drink from it. From that, u will eventually grow naturally as more come and live with you. From this you got the seeds for a city and eventually a civilization. Even how large the rivers can determine how large the settlements will become. Smaller rivers will have smaller settlements and therefore won't become anything 'big' as an empire. Possibly a kingdom though.

You forget the other possibility. Sea-faring kingdoms, you can establish this also if you have access to the sea. A trade based society. Having the interior dependent and having the external world dependent on the interior products. You just place yourself in the middle and get in on the action. But this would've come much later in human history, as they would need knowlege of navigation, star knowledge, weather knowledge, boat knowledge. Water/Food are important also so they would've needed to be farmers by this time or had access to farmers.

So is Ceerigaabo and mountainous areas below the coast in northern Sanaag.

By the way, much of the Sahara / North Africa is in the yellow zone, but it is misleading due to high fluctuations occurring at night in northern deserts while in Somalia it doesn't happen (closer to equator).

High fluctuations is a Africa thing tbh. Hargeisa at day in summers can be hot asf but suddenly at night cold and you will need a duvet to sleep.

Damn the Afar were unlucky the map even shows the Afar triangle. The habashi though .

Warsengeli Sultanate started there so it makes sense.

Adal Sultanate was stationed at Harar which also make sense if we go by the video's logic.


But it fails to bring up civilizations that started in hot areas (Somali city-states, Mogadishu Sultanate, the various Arabian Caliphates, etc.)


Also, the yellow areas in Kenya/Uganda never boasted any civilization, which is odd if Atlas Pro's theory is correct.
