“Ten thousand years ago there were between 1 and 5 million people on the planet.  
There was plenty of room to expand and move, and resources seemed endless.” 

Niles Eldredge. Dominion. 1995. University of California Press.

Mora (2014) reviews “recent studies showing how the issue of population growth has been downplayed and trivialized among scientific fields.” 

He argues that human population size, “...despite being directly or indirectly linked to the deterioration of ecological systems and a key factor for the success of conserving species and ecosystems, has been rarely considered and in fact ‘trivialized or ignored’ by much of the conservation biology community.”
