If you look at the human animal, roughly 5% of women used to die in childbirth, due to changes occuring when humans began to walk upright. No other animal has that high of a death rate in birthing. If you look at war, breeding young men participate. Humans war even if no severe resouce barriers are around.

We live in an age of weapons of mass destruction. While our physical science has progressed, our social sciences have not made as much progress. My thinking for the last 30 years has been that the combination of WMD with religion is going to lead to a bad outcome.

It is also interesting to note that due to the one child policy China now has a large number of single young men. How this will change their society will be an interesting thing to watch.
