@ThorsomeTarmukas Sorry, human beings are not yeast cells; human populations don't change geometrically. Actual expansion rates are constrained by numerous factors *not* related to the speed at which it is technically possible to reproduce. Most notably, there is a strong negative correlation between wealth and birth rate. When you're poor, your children are your resources. When you're wealthy, they're a cost.
