Ibn Khaldun (1332-1406), Muslim historian and statesman, polymath, social scientist, economist, philosopher, political and military theorist. His 'Prolegomena to Universal History' was the systematic exposition of his theoretical views. ….. His analysis of the influence of physical environment upon society was more thorough than any other study of this subject until the time of Bodin, if not until that of Montesquieu. Barnes, 'An Introduction to the History of Sociology'.
