True, Peak People will be about 2037 and will be above today's level. en.wikipedia.org There should be about 7.5 billion of us. But people are neither fungible nor uniformly spread. Japan's population is reducing from 120 million. New Zealand has 4 million. UK about 50 million. They are similar in size. So it's quite obvious that a desirable population level can be anywhere between 4 million and 120 million because NZ and Japan are both pretty good places [apart from crime in NZ and too much government]. What they do in Pakistan, South Africa and Togo are not really my concern. If they keep breeding and try to fit 100 billion into that small area, good luck to them, they'll need it. Most living things outbreed their ecosphere and are reduced again by nature, red in tooth and claw. Look at Rwanda - they cut their population down to size, literally. That seems to be what people do when push comes to shove. China sensibly decided to give women a powerful eugenics tool - aborting huge numbers of females so that those remaining can pick from the huge numbers of spare males. They can ignore the riff raff and go with the premium grade males, thereby enhancing the gene pool. Eugenics is out of fashion these days, but women are not so shy. All day [and night] they conduct viciously repressive eugenics programmes as most wishful-thinking males can attest from bitter and sad personal experience. Males considered unsuitable for breeding are cast aside on the scrap heap of genetic history. Billions of males go through life and die without descendants. Don't worry Haim, there's plenty of room. Heck, even in the so-called crowded countries, there are huge tracts of land unused. Obesity remains the main problem these days, not famine [outside those Islamic and African countries]. Mqurice
