A new scientific study published in the journal Foresight concludes that human civilisation is on the brink of the next giant leap’ in evolution.

However, progress could be thwarted by centralised far-right political projects such as the incoming Donald Trump administration.

Rising authoritarianism, the paper warns, could fatally disrupt the emergence of a new life-cycle for civilization.

The theory is the first time that earth system crises, societal change and technology disruptions have been examined together in a single systems framework to understand how they are driving large-scale civilisational transformation.

The paper concludes that multiple global crises across both earth and human systems are symptoms of the last stages of the life-cycle of global industrialisation civilisation.
