Coğrafya, uzun devirler boyunca insanların beslenme ve giyinme gibi alt kültürlerinden, sanat ve din gibi üst kültürlerine kadar belirleyici olmuştur.
For ages, geography has been a determining factor to mankind's cultures, from basic ones, like nutrition and clothing to higher ones, like art and religion

hmmm, i feel it loses some of its meaning with to/to.
i don't see why from/to wouldn't be acceptable here with "has been".
it's the way to say in english "that it also affects all the cultures between them"
What you mean is that geography affects all mankind's cultures, basic and higher cultures as well. Is that right?
If so, in order to avoid misunderstanding (and using from/to), I think the better thing to do is (once more) changing the syntax. Even adding some words.
What about this:
"For ages, geography has been a determining factor to mankind's cultures, from basic ones, like nutrition and clothing to higher ones, like art and religion" ?
