Answer:
the stage of development of the cultural landscape in the boundary area at the time the boundary was laid down.
Explanation:
Culture can be defined as the general way of life of a group of people living together in a particular location or society.
Basically, culture comprises of beliefs, values, behaviors, language, dressing, cuisine, music, symbols, arts, social habits, knowledge, customs, laws pertaining to a particular group of people living together in a society.
This ultimately implies that, culture are acquired and passed from one generation to another to form an ethnic group.
A boundary can be defined as an imaginary or real line that seperates two geographical areas from one another. Thus, it is used to separate particular region on the earth from another region based on certain political or cultural factors.
The genetic classification of boundaries relates the political boundary's creation to the stage of development of the cultural landscape in the boundary area at the time the boundary was laid down.
The four (4) main types of genetic classification of boundaries includes the following;
I. Subsequent boundary.
II. Antecedent boundary.
III. Relict boundary.
IV. Superimposed boundary.
A superimposed boundary can be defined as the boundary imposed on a geographical region or area by a colonizing, conquering or an external power and as a result of this, the preexisting cultural organizations and patterns are completely ignored.
Some examples of a superimposed boundary is the geometric boundary between Uganda and Kenya, Iraq and Saudi Arabia, as well as other boundaries imposed on Africa by the Europeans during the era of colonialism.
