Back when I went to college, many years ago, my biology teacher brought up a thing called the K level, which he did after discussing how animals have a supposed level where they reach their peak of numbers and then some disaster, a disease, a climate thing or a malfunction of biology, something, occurs to cause their deaths and bring their numbers down to a different level where they begin to thrive again.
He said there is a thing called the "K Level" which is the level the human race reaches this same predicament and at that point the numbers of humans is so large it is inevitable (if I remember this correctly) where some event causes the human race to be destroyed in some percentage back to a level where it can thrive again and grow.
I cannot find anything on this however, on the net. When I went back to college a number of years ago I mentioned it to a professor I had there who was extremely surprised and said to me, "Where did YOU hear of the K LEVEL?" He did know of it.
I looked it up some years after that, found something on it then and was not able to read the article or whatever I found, being called off to do something. I forgot about it till now, tried to find something on it and cannot find a thing.
Does anyone out there know about this mysterious thing called the "K level" for the human race?
You ever wonder why urban ares are liberal rural areas are conservative. This is it.
The weakening of the family unit is what created these problems. Yes, government drove it but we accepted them.
Noah: Are you referring to cubits or meters"
Hey you beat me to it. I was still typing!
It is the carrying capacity for an environment. This beaver pond has a K of eight, for example. The Earth has a K of about 10 to 20 billion souls, according to several researchers.
If you gave all seven billion folks a 3 bedroom house we would all fit in Texas.
This is not God culling man to save the planet.

I was lucky enough that I did get a few good answers that did answer my question.
