Overpopulation, Yes or No? (WAS: Permaculture Concepts: No Such Thing???

[Guest guest]

Has to do with food supply. Once we humans learned how to cultivate grain,

our population began to expand, and except for times of plague, it has never

stopped.

 

Grain --- high caloric source per mass; stores almost foever; lightweight to

transport; grows easily in many, many regions.

Regarding overpopulation:

 

Isn't it very interesting for example that Gorillas get only two babies in

their lifes and only in a time frame of 3-5 years in between each baby. I am

wondering, why is there not the same increased population of Gorillas, Orang

Utans and Chimpanzees like humans?

 

How many families get how many babies?

 

I am thinking and thinking and thinking......

Thank you, Joe.

 

Someone once commented to me that, if there were 7 billion elephants, or

lions, tigers, sharks ... 7 billion of ANY other large animal, we humans

would consider it a pox upon the planet. Why does this not apply to 7

billion humans.
