We will see. <no particular excess to speak of > I spotted some unpleasant Malthusian young males lurking around Beijing who were not going to grow into charming producers.

But as you say, "excess" is not necessarily a problem. Nature just loves excess and produces LOTS of it. As much as can fit into a container.

Then, when full up, other agencies go to work -

Maoistic one-child policies with severe punishment
Women choosing among swarms of suitors, eliminating the DNA dross, leading to high SAT scores.
Males compete intensely, leading to much development such as CDMA/OFDMA;
And death if they compete on the battlefield.
Famine eliminates those without reserves or foresight.
Disease executes weaklings.
Invasion of neighbouring places becomes popular.
Women leap the fence to find suitors elsewhere.

Bucolic idylls are great to live in for the individual, but nature prefers a steaming cauldron of action and genocide. 99.9999999999999999% of DNA which tried to get a footing was obliterated by relentless, merciless nature. We the living are miracles, having won absurdly against the odds, continuously, in an unbroken chain for a billion years. Imagine how many narrow escapes your ancestors had over those billion years, to ensure you were there to read this.
