Too tired and too much stuff left to do tonight to get into much more. Hopefully have fur to gather and skin tomorrow and maybe the boys and I will roll a couple of turkeys as well. I think things are more complex and mixed than you guys have indicated. There are species that have been hammered and there are species that a flourishing because they adapt well to various human land uses. People in advanced economies could produce a lot of their own food if they wanted to but choose not do although trends are changing (the growing trend of backyard or garage chickens). People are both wasteful and resourceful. The future is not totally known. Once genies are out the bottle, the knowledge is there and a lot of people aren't satisfied in giving up their advancements. We'll see...



P.S. I didn't have the textbooks I used when I taught my geography class home here but I did find an interesting graph of global pop change since 1700. I would argue we are in the middle scenario now (I;m not sure which scenarios these guys are talking about, there a number of them out there).
