  1. child mortality in central African republic is about as high as in the usa in 1960 so not very high

  2. i have a book from 1991 that predicts we should have over 20 billion people by now and 100+ billion in 2090

  4. i am not saying it was a good thing but if Europe didn't do that another continent would have done it at some point maybe Asian countries or if you waited a super long time Africans or even native Americans or Australian aboriginals could end up having industrial revolution after a crazy amount of time probably. not before 2024 but probably in 10.000+ years .

  5. it doesn't matter it wont affect the rest of the world and will probably be a positive for Africa

  7. I am not worried about this first of all Africa was sparsely populated until recently and if you count for population density there is still a lot of room .when i look up the population numbers for most African countries i am always surprised how few people live in some of these countries like central African republic has less people than Belgium but its bigger than Germany and France combined. and they can benefit from a bigger population causing a larger workforce more potential geniuses and other great people that will help their country a lot even if most of the population is not like that .the rest of the world will not be affected by this but in Europe we need to focus on stopping silly immigration polices and trying to convince the next generations to have more kids so the population stops shrinking to very low levels i don't even think minor shrinkage matters. it can even benefit the rest of the world since African countries can start exporting goods and other useful things like what china is doing now and India to a lesser extent. and i know there is a lot of negativity about Africa but there are a few things they do well like more African countries are democratic than Asian countries. most of south east Asia and the middle east are authoritarian while most African countries aren't. it will be better for the west to trade with Ghana or Nigeria or Kenya than china or Qatar or Vietnam since they don't really have an anti freedom agenda .

  9. Africa was also very sparsely populated they had less people than Europe in 1995 despite being way bigger .there are some very big countries like central African republic with 6 million people or Gabon with only 2 million Belgium is tiny compared to these but has 11 million people.

  13. the food donations don't really have a big impact and the technology wont go away once its invented even if these guys don't invent anything new

  14. if Africa becomes so hot its uninhabitable so over 60°C on average the entire world will probably end up being doomed at that point i don't think there were every any large parts of the earth that were truly uninhabitable in the last 400 million years

  15. i am sure birth-rates between the romans and Germans were both almost the same and way higher than any modern country. like easily 12 kids per woman for romans and 13 for Germans .

  16.  @ikengaspirit3063  yea but Siberia is very cold and Russia has low birth rates. and when they didn't they just wanted to use Siberia as a pointless buffer in case of war and they didn't settle it. most Russians now live in these big apartments complexes that are small and compact leaving most of land unused

  17. the book i read almost 30 years ago said there will be 10 billion in 2020
