Abundant Water on Mars, and Mongols Rule!

The video discusses the predictability of human behavior and the discovery of water on Mars by the Curiosity Rover. It highlights the significant finding that Mars' surface soil contains water, which could be easily accessible for future missions. The video also explores a computer model that predicts the development of complex societies, suggesting warfare as a driving force. The model's accuracy emphasizes the role of geography and resource scarcity in historical conflicts, with the Mongols as a case study.

What geographical factors were noted as strong indicators for warfare in historical contexts?

In what way do the findings about Mars and human history suggest larger mechanisms at work?
