| Description |
In this paper, we present a new approach to modeling and analyzing the dynamics of growth in human population. Our analysis clearly shows that by now human population should have long reached and surpassed the 7 billion mark. The analysis also suggests that there possibly a whole array of factors hampering the growth of human population with infectious diseases being probably the most important one. The paper describes the most dangerous infectious diseases in human history and hypothesizes that they might be regarded as the “hidden factor” behind slowing down the exponential growth of human population. We conclude by proclaiming that infectious diseases might act as a natural mechanism of clearing out human population and therefore perform the role of the cleaning mechanism
