Some clues :
Douglas P. Fry : Pacified Past
Azar Gat : Warfare as an Ancient Feature
Robert L. Carneiro : Complexity and State Formation
Was the 20th century one of the most violent in human history ? (with two world wars and numerous other conflicts) ?
i also like the documentary series : “The Ascent of man” from the BBC in 1973 by Jacob Bronowski.
In recent years? Yeah. Conflicts around the world rose by 40% between 2020 and 2022 and another 12% from 2022 to 2023. However, before this drastic uptick, conflicts around the world were on a downward trend.
Until 2022 it had been going down since WWII.
Your graphic doesn’t go past 2011.
I couldn’t find that exact graph to the 2020s, but here are some more.
Thanks. That last graph seems the most relevant. Kind of wild how the regions changed so drastically in the last couple years there.
Dear Sir (Wolf) 🇰 🔵 🇱 🇦 🇳 🇦 🇰 ℹ️,
… looking at my avatar you might guess I’m a smiling radioactive citrus myself 😋.
The rapid changes you are discussing would be of the cultural kind but I might have made my question differently and ask more about possible genetic changes (or long term changes).
Thanks for your contribution to this discussion. I will be happy to read you in other posts and comments.
