The purpose of this work is to analyze the first regional model of the mankind system. This model is part of a set of 28 models of mankind. The elements of these models are resources or resource groups. A small quantitative model of the entire mankind system was previously presented. By resources, we mean tools, things, qualities, and methods that can be used to achieve human goals. In our models of the mankind system, the possibilities for actions of people and mankind are included in the consideration, while social structures, as well as the impact of mankind on the environment, are excluded from consideration. A total of 26 regional models are proposed. These are models of resource groups. The article details the first regional model of the mankind system and presents a development timeline for the lifespan of the first regional model. Collectively, the regional models constitute a large model of mankind. This article is interdisciplinary in nature as it addresses issues related to complex systems and human history.
The objective of this work is to clarify the reasons for the uneven dynamics of the development of the human system. The named dynamics changes in different periods of human history. Opportunities for human’ activities are included in our system model. This model of the human system consists of elements that have not changed since its inception. This means that the elements of the system are invariants. These elements represent opportunities for human action. Social structures as well as the impact of humanity on the environment are excluded from the system model.
In this article, a hypothesis is put forward about a new driving force of mankind’s development. The previously known driving forces are global climate change and the driving forces of biological evolution. We show the correlation between the graph of the new driving force and the curve of the growing number of invariants in our model. The growth of the driving force is very uneven. The emergence of new invariants is the response of the system to the pressure of the driving force. This correlation explains the reason for the uneven dynamics of the development of mankind’s system.
This article is interdisciplinary in nature. It examines issues related to complex systems, geological eras, global climate, mankind’s history.
