If the cover chart is anything to go by the variance in any time period about the mean is immense.

I could believe there is a trend but at any point in time that looks like the last and next 100 years is almost entirely reflected in contemporary state.

The paucity of ancient references also stood out in that.

Also the methodology for estimating ancient WHRs seems suspect.
