The location of Western Civilization defined nations in Europe and the United States within the largest global pollen environments on the planet is proposed as a key factor leading to their success. Environments with dense pollen concentrations will cause large up and down changes in serum histamine directly causing reductions and increases in brain serotonin i.e., a larger "serotonin slope," linked to higher levels of creativity nations. The pollen ecosystem in northern latitude is thus considered the hidden driver of the success of these populations as the biochemical interaction between histamine and serotonin leads to a "creativity pump" that is proposed as the fundamental driver of intelligence in micro and macro human populations.
