serious threats to the environment and the sustainability to human civilization. Population dynamics plays a big role in how our world has changed and continues to change.

Obviously, people back then didn't understand that food is harder to get than they think. I mean the only thing they knew was animal poop and human poop combined with some urine could make food grow better. I think that doesn't mean anything. Here's what I say to them: "Okay...

Prehistoric art consisted mostly of images of animals, such as horses, deer, and buffalo, carved into or painted on the walls of caves.

Biotechnology and genetically modified organisms might have the answer. Now, can biotechnology alone cure world hunger—no, but genetically modified organisms might be able to help significantly. Some…

people who are in the workforce may have to work that much longer and that much harder so they can support themselves. The progress of the technology, and medicine may be prolonged if not enough people enter the workforce. But if there are less of a population than the environment would not have to suffer as much. In the end it is up to the mother to decide if she wants to have this abortion or not. She would have to weigh all aspects of life and see if she is capable of caring for a baby or if…

Population Control The world is currently home for over 7 billion people and the Earth is able to inhabit a maximum of 10 billion people. If the human population grows at the same rate, there will be close to 10 billion people residing on Earth in the year 2050, which is right around the corner (“Planet”). It is an innate human characteristic that dwells in every human being’s psyche: selfishness. Human beings walk around with privilege and never stop and think about the bigger picture, in this…
