A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

In the tropics the daylength is always nearly the same, at least it never falls below 10 hours which is the point at which plants stop growing. Even in a greenhouse in the north once the days are shorter than 10 hours the plants stop growing.

That's somewhat, um, inaccurate.
Plants have evolved into all sorts of niches on this planet, even those benighted places where the sun shines fewer than 10 hours in the day.
It's more accurate to say that there are a greater number of growing degree/days the closer you are to the equator, generally speaking.
