No idea if this could ever do this, but I have aways thought it would be fascinating to graph global conflict over the course of human history using some metric. I'd be fascinated to know if humanity is more or less violent today than it was in, say, the 1500s AD or 1500 BC by any metric. Maybe lives lost per capita attributed to war? Or people per capita involved in a national conflict?
