Considering the works of geographer Wilbur Zelinsky, who notably introduced the idea of 'The Doctrine of First Effective Settlement', stating that 'whenever an empty territory undergoes settlement, or an earlier population is dislodged by invaders, the specific characteristics of the first group able to effect a viable, self-perpetuating society are of crucial significance for the later social and cultural geography of the area, no matter how tiny the initial band of settlers may have been.' Based on this concept, how can we apply Zelinsky's doctrine to understand the distribution and characteristics of today's human populations in specific regions of the United States?

By identifying the first effective settlers in each region and understanding the society they established, we can better understand the distribution and characteristics of today's human populations in these regions.

Zelinsky's doctrine can be applied by analyzing the wealthiest group in each region, as they have the most control over the area's social and cultural geography.

We can apply Zelinsky's doctrine by examining the largest ethnic group in each region, as they have the most significant impact on the area's social and cultural geography.

Zelinsky's doctrine can be applied by focusing on the most recent settlers in each region, as they have the most influence on the current population distribution and characteristics.

The Doctrine of First Effective Settlement can be applied by studying the indigenous populations of each region, as they were the first to inhabit the land.
