Peter Turchin and Evolution Of The (Complex) Human Societies

I find it very interesting the research approach that is carrying out Prof. Peter Turchin when analysing the evolution of human societies from thousand years ago to the resent day.

In this sense, I see that his (and co-workers) approach described in (link to paper HERE):

Peter Turchin et al. "Quantitative historical analysis uncovers a single dimension of complexity that structures global variation in human social organization", Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS), 115, 2, E144-E151, 2018

seem to show that Machine Learning and his field of research could live a golden age of cooperation in the very near future.
