Human geography is a direction of the foreign economic geography of the late XIX century in France (J.Zh.Elise Reclus, P.Vidal de la Blas, J. Brun, A.Demangeon). Unlike anthropogeographers, representatives of this direction sought to explain the features of the geography of the population not so much in natural factors, as in a combination of economic, historical and psychological characteristics, including social, urban, cultural, regional, political situation. The high skill of describing the nature and life of people, the way of life and customs of the inhabitants, and the colorful and succulent language contributed to the wide dissemination of human geography.
