[ExI] Human Warfare is learned behaviour - not evolutionary

[William Flynn Wallace]

I did not Google it, but long ago I read about a relationship between food
availability and birth rates.  The naive assumption is that the more food
you have, the more optimistic you are about the future, the more babies you
have.  And it is exactly opposite.  Theis counters the notion that foreign
aid will just make the overpopulation worse, usually made by conservatives.

There ought to be a lot of supporting data here.   bill w
