How is southern Mexico and northern Mexico alike?

Both are part of Mexico, and that's pretty much it. Both regions are opposite in terms of economy, population, cultural traits and even ethnicity:Northern Mexico is industry-oriented while southern Mexico is mostly ruralNorthern Mexico is sparcely populated while southern Mexico has a much bigger population density.Northern Mexico is dominated by the Sonoran and Chihuahuan deserts while southern Mexico has a tropical, humid climate.Northern Mexico's ethnicity is in general terms, "paler" than the rest of the country due to European immigration throughout the 19th century; southern Mexico tends to be "darker" due to several Native American peoples that survived the contact with Europeans.Northern Mexico is more akin to the southwestern US -- in fact, the cowboy culture was "invented" in Mexico -- while southern Mexico has more affinity to Central America.
