Neo, you have a malevolent attitude to humans. If AIDS was infesting your family, killing 20% of them, would you say, "The only thing saving our family population wise is AIDS"? How do you think it's good for Africans that they are dying in droves from disease? In case you don't know, Africans quite like being alive too. They love their children and don't consider themselves, family and friends dying to be "saving Africa, population wise". Africa could easily take 1 billion or 2 billion people. The problem is NOT the number of people. It's their quality, philosophical foundations and ideologies. The lack of Victorian Virtuous Values. Lack of intellect. See "Smart Fraction Theory" by Griffe. You can ask Google if you want to learn something. China isn't "loosing their grip on the 1 child/family". China is going to go into decline in numbers in few years or maybe a decade or two. People don't have incentive to dramatically increase their reproduction rate. They will be like Japan, Germany and other countries, as they are already being. India is still growing and will do for many years [unless something bad happens]. But their birth rates have plunged too. Japan isn't "dinky". They don't "need" population control. From what I've seen, Japanese are quite happy to be alive and I haven't met any who think they are surplus to requirements. 110 million people is quite a mob. You are obviously living in the past. The Club of Rome is out of date Neo. The Malthusian human population bomb is over. The bust is approaching. Meanwhile, the Flynn Effect is turbocharging intellects. Natural selection/evolution continues to do the same thing [which might be the same thing]. Mqurice
