I agree human nature is fairly constant, but it's interesting to consider how testosterone levels are falling in males. This should have a pretty big effect on aggressiveness, risk taking, and perhaps even the nature and solidity of dominance hierarchies. History can act as a guide, but it rarely maps on perfectly. The emergence of technological progress means history is no longer as relevant as it used to be.
I assume you are familiar with Teilhard de Chardin?
