The problem is that people reproduce to excess in places that can't support such a population in the first place. It'd be like seeing that the Kansas corn has no chance of making it to Africa without better infrastructure in Africa.

Yeah, that's why I bought it. The final piece in my setup will be networking my PC up to the TV screen upstairs, then I've got the perfect gaming setup. You'd think I was an avid gamer, but I rarely game at all these days.

We wonder why LEDCs don't develop more - this is clearly a large part of the reason. It's also entirely unsustainable.
I am not sure how you draw that conclusion. Stuff is not a zero sum game. The corn I eat does not prevent an African from eating. It gets real expensive shipping from Kansas to equitoral Africa . They have to be more productive locally.

Still can't believe he gets replaced Stateside when BBC America airs his nature documentaries. Sigourney Weaver was the narrator for Planet Earth, which is a tragedy.

Make it slightly cheaper by reducing fuel costs from transportation by using nuclear cargoships. *nods*

That's a proper scientist that is - doing things because you can.

Not even close, really.

Thorium pebblebed reactor cargo ships. Interesting idea, that.

All that remains is to show that biological systems replicate in such a way as to satisfy the minimal criteria required for evolution to apply to them, something which has already been adequately shown time and again. At this point, we've pretty much proven that not only can evolution happen, it pretty much must happen since it's basically impossible to prevent it from happening.
