This was a paper I read in my junior year in High School. 1962 It opened my eyes to "demography" and the cause and effect of population density. Titled, "Population Density and Social Pathology" by John B. Calhoun. It basically said the more crowded ANY organism becomes, the more they act in pathologically violent and intolerant ways. and Calhoun wasn't the first to make the connection; In the celebrated thesis of **Thomas Malthus,** vice and misery impose the ultimate natural limit on the growth of populations. of Any organism. Not just humans. Students of the subject have given most of their attention to misery, that is, to predation, disease and food supply as forces that operate to adjust the size of a population to its environment. But what of vice? Setting aside the moral burden of this word, what are the effects of the social behavior of a species on population growth-and of population density on social behavior? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1501789/pdf/califmed00143-0080.pdf

And will continue to do so as long as we increase in population. It's simple. The organisms (not just people - even plants) per area - beyond the idea sustaining quantity - the greater pressure on the environment and each-other. Proven in 1962 by John B. Calhoun. Population Density and Social Pathology. Or...the more crowded it gets the less per organism So - the harder each individual will have to fight/strive/work to make it. True for plants. True for fruit flies. (my genetics students proved it yearly). True for rats. and True for H. sapiens. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1501789/pdf/califmed00143-0080.pdf And the reason we see it more every day - and keep talking about "the good old days"?

Mountain gorillas: The ripple effect of conservation

Robecology comments on Jun 21, 2022:

@Mooolah it's an interesting term, "Conservative". I think you meant to suggest that you're a "Conservationist" but not a "Conservative". The term you originally used - Conservative - originally meant to preserve, to go slow, to slow progress. to be anti-progressive. But then the #religulous bought in to the concept - less than a century ago. And I doubt you're #religulous Now if you look it up....religion is one of the "pillars" of American Conservatism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservatism_in_the_United_States I was transformed when i saw "Gorillas in the Mist" and became an avid protector and supporter of the mountain gorillas. Perhaps you should watch this; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PPSIwe7sb8 Conservationists differ now from the (American, usually) politically active "Conservative"...they - the Conservationists are the ones who want to proceed slowly with growth...with dominance over our environment. I'm a social Conservationist but politically a progressive/liberal. I think you are, too? The progressives in America are the ones who want to preserve and protect endangered species. They find the connection between fossil fuel use - global warming - and pollution. They tend to want to "go green" with Renewable energy forms. https://wikidiff.com/conservationist/conservative
