I have a question, a...Thank you for this Dr Weeks.<br /><br />I have a question, and I'm not trying to be insensitive or crude. But I'm wondering about the intersection of history, demographics and famine. <br /><br />Specifically, I'm wondering if famine is not part of the natural self-regulation of the local environment to shed excess population. <br /><br />As you point out, all to these regions have very high fertility. If they had lower fertility is it not likely that there would be no famine, or that the famine would be much easier to address?<br /><br />Thanks.<br /><br />Abu Daoudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18399746942963002389noreply@blogger.com
