There's a chart in this book titled "Factors Underlying the Broadest Patterns of History." (87). Suggests history turned on two major things: the long axis of continents and the relative available cultivatable plants and animals. It is, of course, more complicated than that. But also not.
Concludes that initial conditions generally lead to ultimate results. Brutal, brutal, ultimate results.
Fascinating and disturbing. Well worth the time.
