Ambitious individuals could have used the economically based competitive feast in order to gain control over peoples labor as a symbol of success or power. If the first domesticated species were highly desirable foods, but labor intensive to produce or otherwise difficult to obtain, it is most likely that domestication developed within the context of competitive feasting (Hayden 1992: 13).

Population Growth Carrying Capacity
1,300 words... ered around, it was be painfully obvious that this could only mean one thing: the resource is very abundant now, compared with the demand for that resource. However, the only thing that this means is that resources just aren't as scarce right now, as they used to be. One of the major causes for this is quite possibly the over-saturation of the market with such resources. Because mankind's economies are using the resources so quickly, there doesn't appear to be as much scarcity as there once ...

Dolan argues that population growth when coupled with the technological progress will eventually level off and the problem will more or less disappear.

Carrying Capacity Population Density
965 wordsPOPULATION GROWTH AND REGULATION 1. Populations vary in size over time due to a number of factors some natural, some created. Births, deaths, and environmental conditions are examples of natural factors that can affect a population. Sometimes the allotted space is just not big enough or there are not enough resources to support a larger population, and the species growth levels off resulting in a logistic growth. Logistic model combines two ecological processes: reproduction and competition. Bot...

Population Growth Population Increases
1,455 wordsModeling Population Growth First of all, lets give definition to population growth. The term basically explains how the population changes with time (decreases or increases). It is controlled by the death and birth rates. According to the main ideas of modeling population growth, the rate at which a population changes depends on at least three factors (Modeling Population Growth: Main Ideas, n. p. ). Lets examine the models of animal population growth and the three factors depending on which the...

Number Of People Standard Of Living
3,047 wordsPopulation Problem Two hundred years ago, Thomas Malthus, in An Essay on the Principle of Population, reached the conclusion that the number of people in the world will increase exponentially, while the ability to feed these people will only increase arithmetically (21). Current evidence shows that this theory may not be far from the truth. For example, between 1950 and 1984, the total amount of grain produced more than doubled, much more than the increase in population in those 34 years. More r...
