Civilization Collapse Could Happen In the 2020s Due To ‘Political Turmoil’ Professor Predicts

Intro:

University of Connecticut professor Peter Turchin believes civilization is in danger of collapse in the 2020s due to political turmoil hitting a fever pitch. Turchin has developed a mathematical method he believes can accurately explain and gauge human behavior.

Peter Turchin is an ecology and math professor at the Connecticut university. His research into the history of human behavior uses a cross-disciplinary system commonly referred to as “cliodynamics,” the Daily Mail reports. Cliodynamics focuses upon deciphering broad social trends and the “deep structural causes” which occur as a result, according to the professor.
