Biohistory: An Introduction – What is ‘biohistory’?

Biohistory explores how biology—especially epigenetics—shapes the fate of civilisations.

By linking genetics, behaviour, and history, it offers a new way to understand why societies rise and fall.

Would you like to create your own Biohistory model?

By exploration in Biohistory through research and an amazing modelling tool, you can take the next step in your understanding.

Would you like to receive $50,000 USD?

The Biohistory Foundation is offering a prize of $50,000 USD for a successful model of world history using the principles of Biohistory.

Aspects include the development of farming, the rise and fall of civilizations, the shorter-term changes known as ‘lemming cycles’, and developments in religion and technology. The prize may be awarded to an individual or team, or divided among teams achieving some portion of the goal.
