When you have too many deer in one area you get chronic wasting, many species have ways to control their numbers. Do you think people will experience something like this when their numbers grow too large? Like diseases or some sort of brain worm or something?

  1. Just because you think there are too many people around doesn't mean the world thinks so. We're just all cramped into the same areas, it's not overpopulation outside of the major cities yet. Move out to the country and stop your pessimism.


  2. Totally!!  Humans are animals too and we are an inhabitant of earth. No matter how much humans would like to believe that we control the earth.. we don't. The earth will control us.  If our numbers grow too large and we are throwing off the balance of the biosphere... the earth will react and do what's necessary to restore balance.

    Overpopulation is a huge problem and its exacerbated by the way people live a consumptive and wasteful lifestyle!

  3. I agree.  And I think its already a reality for ppl living in many parts of the world........

  4. Humans have a similar feature to the deers you desribed, it is called War. Prehaps our own aggressive demands we cause the numbers to be reduced.

    This has happened in previous generations were millions have been killed thereby keeping the population low.

    As for a brainworm I think you be watching too much sci-fiction, I saw Alien Vs Predator the other day, maybe that will happen
