The Theory of Population

Ella Steck

1. The general nature of all animated life is to, "investigate the causes of which have hitherto       impeded the progress of mankind towards happiness. Also to examine the probability of the  total or partial removal of these causes in the future."
2. The most positive check on human population growth is it increases according birth rate and is potentially exponential.
3. When unchecked population increases geometrically at the rate of 1,2,4,8,16,32 etc
Food growth will increase following arithmetic series of 1,2,3,4,5,6
4. Preventive checks are equal to or greater than reduce birth rate. The preventive check he disapproved was called, "vice"
Positive check was equal to or greater than increase death rate. Famine, disease and war.
5.Yes he was right.
