I believe in colder climates you have a larger percentage of a stronger society, more people who survive the cold, become acclimated, work with it and adjust their diet usually are stronger and liver longer. In other words a cooler climate weeds out the weaker. having lived in Alaska for the last 20 years I can see the differences in the culture against the people say from LA or Houston.

While that’s true, the reverse is also true. People acclimated to the hotter and more humid climes will thrive while those from the cold climes like Alaska, Canada, etc., will suffer a lot.
In early 1960s, my FIL (oldest of 9 kids) invited two of his brothers and their wives (they all lived in Racine WI) to visit us in the DFW area in July. We took them all over the area for several days. They thought they would die if not in the car or house with a/c.
When my daughter was less than a year old, the FIL took us on a drive up to Racine to show off his grandkid... in February! We were there for several days, with temps at -24F in the daytime! ....As a Native Born Texan, I spent a lot of time when we were indoors wearing my Navy peacoat and layers of clothes while sitting by the heating vents, while the locals sat around in light sweaters eating kringle and drinking coffee.
I enjoy reading your postings about happenings in Alaska.
