Our study with Peter Turchin & Daniel Hoyer "Explaining population booms and busts in Mid-Holocene Europe" is online Springer Nature Scientific Reports. Its social processes with violent conflict rather than climate... Leibniz-Zentrum für Archäologie (LEIZA) rdcu.be/dd2Ms

we hope the event was as relaxed and engaging as planned ;)

This video interview went really well. Oli is a terrific interviewer. youtube.com/watch?v=sH7wqx…

I am delighted that the International Journal of Humanities and Arts Computing has posted a call for papers for a special issue on Spatial Humanities and the Global South. Please spread the word! Papers due end of January 2024! More information here! bit.ly/3Jak2UW

Did #warfare lead the fall of small-scale societies? Complexity Science Hub scientist Peter Turchin and his team may have added a key piece to an #archeology puzzle. Their study in Scientific Reports shows violent #conflict played a crucial role in #Neolithic Europe. ➡️ bit.ly/3CDBaPm

Climate resilience is built into human nature, including the innovations we design & share. In our special issue out today in Phil Trans B, 14 teams discuss how studying culture brings insight to contemporary climate adaptation: royalsocietypublishing.org/toc/rstb/2023/… Some take-homes: 1/

Neither the present nor the future are disconnected from our shared past. Thrilled for Seshat work to be part of this incredible special issue

New theme issue of #PhilTransB edited by Anne Pisor, J. Stephen Lansing & Kate Magargal looks at methods people use to adapt to environmental changes. Understanding this can help researchers, policymakers and organisations better support communities as they respond to

History shows us not only what happened before, but can help show us why – and these can turn into lessons for today. See the great new piece on work by Peter Turchin Daniel Hoyer and Seshat team in grist

Climate change has toppled some civilizations but not others. Why? The link between environmental disasters and societal collapse, explained. grist.org/culture/climat…

Hear about the way history prepares societies to face major threats -- or to become overwhelemd by them. Seshat researcher Daniel Hoyer talks with Quantum Photonics on Clubhouse tomorrow!

We are having a stats postdoc position available to work with humanities datasets, including Seshat data.

Every society's path to complexity was somewhat unique, but there are some clear patterns in the ebbs-and-flows of how they get there. New paper published today in PNAS Nexus using Seshat explores these timescales: academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/arti…

What's it like to be a 'Crisis Detective'? Dan Hoyer writes in The Conversation about his journey from classics to complexity science, and why studying crises in the past gives him nightmares, but also helps him find some hope for our present polycrisis: theconversation.com/historys-crisi…

Our 🌐 world 🌐 is becoming ever more interconnected 🤝 and interdependent – and thus, complex. Today's problems span beyond traditional disciplines, calling for interdisciplinary research to find solutions. But what these problems often have in common is the necessity to man ...
