Hi Alea......
Didn't miss the point... but how do resources fit into
that model.......unless we recycle 99% of everything we
dig up & throw away.
The point being if you assume 2 people seeded this planet
just 50000 years back & assume a 0.1% not 1% average
growth rate you still get a number to the power of 21...
Biblical style wipeouts seem a necessity....
