DESCRIPTION:In the 'Origin of Species'\, Charles Darwin described how a po
 pulation explosion occurs. Charles was not to know it\, but such circumsta
 nces arose for his own species at around the time of his own birth. Howeve
 r\, the favourable seasons for human population growth were not experience
 d favourably\, with times of great social dislocation from small scale enc
 losure to global colonisation. Now those seasons are over\, we have experi
 enced the first ever sustained slowdown in the rate of global human popula
 tion growth for at least one generation. However\, we are not just slowing
  down in terms of how many children we have\, but in almost everything els
 e we do other than the rise in global temperatures we live with and the si
 ze of global student debt. If this is true - what does it mean? And what m
 easurements suggest it is true?"
