When I first hear the idea, it strikes me as pretty far-fetched - I guess because I think of human societies as being extraordinarily complex things, meaning that their history is extraordinarily complex, too; and it's so very, very easy to see patterns in any complex data if you're just willing to squint a bit.
But I could totally be wrong!
