Human Population Growth as a Case of the Same Models
Captions available
The idea
Human population growth follows the same exponential and logistic principles, per Bio 3557 and 3559, with technology shifting carrying capacity.
In practice
Agricultural and medical advances have raised humanity's carrying capacity, delaying rather than eliminating leveling.
Where people slip
Assuming technology exempts humans from carrying capacity is the error — it shifts the ceiling, not removes it.
