There is a very interesting talk/interview with Peter Turchin here https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2&v=q6fx3AN0tlo https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2&v=q6fx3AN0tlo It is about the follow up to the book discussed in the link: 'Ultrasociety: How 10,000 Years of War Made Humans the Greatest Cooperators on Earth' https://www.amazon.com/Ultrasociety-Years-Humans-Greatest-Cooperators-ebook/dp/B0185P69LU https://www.amazon.com/Ultrasociety-Years-Humans-Greatest-Co... Turchin is the founder of Cliohistory - he is trying to formulate mathematical models that can describe history in the sense that it checks if social theory corresponds to the models - similar (but not identical) idea as the fictional psychohistory of Asimov's foundation series.
