What "take home" message is "buried" in the population growth information "Bacterial Growth in a Closed System" for us as a human population? What population dynamics issues do we have? Have you seen any changes in our "worlds" that would relate to population dynamics of people? Comments on the "more people, the more crowded and limited will be our lives"?
We have no natural enemies; only competition to food sources (although some people have lost the battle and became the food source). We are also able to make our own food source and preserve food supplies for later use. This along with many other variables has made it possible for humans to continue to grow. The down side is that it now takes many sources to sustain such a large population, such that we are dramatically changing the environment. Habitats that support wild life are being destroyed to make way for areas that support animals or plants for harvest or for cities to house the population. This in turns creates environments that are no longer suitable to support a large variety of life.
