Shown in my map example towards the end, the Maroon culture formed society centers later than Purple culture that I pointed out having a Nile-like climate. Depending on the tolerances of the species, like @punctdan had said, could determine which parts are better for living. My example was more similar to Humans here on Earth where they do better in more temperate climates, but a heavier reliance on water since the world would be more arid overall. Below are some more maps on my example, and how society could develop, staying on the fact that certain species may have a greater reliance on water sources in an arid plateau.
While the Purple culture is shown to be more developed, nearing or even in the Society Stage, Maroon still has a long way to go because of the different climates.
Other cultures, who are even more less developed than Maroon, such as orange, have very little trade routes compared to cultures like yellow or Purple.

Or isolated high places in general like high-rise plateaus
Yes, but the difference in the island of Maroon and Purple is that they split up in culture due to the significant change in environment. For example, Pakistan and North India, both sharing a common ancestry, are wildly different because of environmental split with Pakistan more arid and inaccessible to India, allowing less cultural change even with a common ancestor, the Indio-Iranian peoples.

Would culture always tend to diversify or could one have eventually it united as one culture for a planet?
Either is possible. Here on Earth, weβre starting to see languages such as English become more and more of the universal language, but I highly doubt all of Earth would share a similar culture hundreds of years later, itβs just what humans are, we can fit in into new areas, but still remember our ancestral culture.

I suppose an βuniversal cultureβ could coexist with regional ones?
Shown in my essay, culture groups can be similar, but still their cultures share rather different regional ones, so yes, itβs possible. Besides, hundreds of years into the future, cultures on Mars could be drastically different from Earth, and on an observerβs point of view, it would not be too outlandish to show that culture on Earth is a lot more similar than culture on Mars, yet still be the same species.

Took about a couple months of research in human history, and about 4 days of writing. I have enough information to write up to around early modern human history, so they could come out more often than this one

Itβs going to be more focused on applying what my ideas on this essay onto the maps and examples I gave before, so with about a week, I could get part 2 done. It could be shorter or longer depending on how much longer the winter storm down here lasts.

Do you plan to post it in this thread or make a new thread for the second part?
I havenβt decided yet, but to keep consistency in conversation over this, Iβm most likely going to post it in this thread. If I have enough time, I could make a forum game to speed up the information needed to make the second part.

I think you might need to edit the thread title when you post that second part then
