The idea of geographical determinism and the Jewish diaspora

In Greek and Roman ethnography, the idea that the geographical environment determines the character of its inhabitants was widespread. It can be found in the Hippocratic corpus, as well as among philosophers (Aristotle) and historians (Herodotus, Tacitus). The physiognomy and customs of many peoples are explained by environmental circumstances. A notable exception is the Jews, for whom there are no anthropogeographical arguments in Greco-Roman literature. This absence can be explained by the phenomenon of the Jewish diaspora, which made it impossible to establish simple links between Judaism and a specific place. As for Judeo-Hellenistic authors such as Philo of Alexandria and Flavius Josephus, they propose a Judaism that transcends a given territory. Can we even speak of a philosophy of the Jewish diaspora in antiquity?
