On the contrary, demographic history offers evidence that population growth has not been at all constant. According to

23、 paleo-ecologist Edward Deevey, the past million years show three momentous changes.

Once again when initial productivity gains had been absorbed, the rate of population growth abated. These two episodes suggest that the
