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...

According to recent population reports, birth rates among Israel’s Jews are on the rise while those of Arab citizens are in decline.

The connection was found to date back many generations Details of the study appear in the European Journal of Human Genetics.

HONG KONG — The survival of the human race depends on its ability to find new homes elsewhere in the universe because there’s an increasing risk that a disaster will destroy Earth, world-renowned physicist Stephen Hawking said Tuesday.

Everett Koop,then chief surgeon at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and, later, the Surgeon General of the United States. Their combined expertise exposed the subtle but rapid loss of human rights through the growing acceptance of legalized...
