Throughout the Paleolithic Age, the human population had been small and relatively stable. With the shift from food gathering to food production, however, populations grew exponentially over a period of time. As modern man continues to exploit the environment with more efficient methods of agriculture and other means of food production, are we in danger of overpopulating? Will we once again be subject to the same ecological and natural constraints that balanced the Paleolithic population? Apply the chief characteristics of the Neolithic Revolution to modern-day society and decide whether or not the aforementioned scenarios are plausible.
