Overpopulation as a generator of the limit of finite resources

Abstract

Demographic phenomena have existed since the origin of humanity; however, these have presented various stages of intensity over time. Behaviors and influences have been different in different geographical sites, and therefore it is clear that the different historical population dynamics have affected biodiversity and ecosystems of the planet Earth.

The man has not been able to build solid commitments to safeguard their habitat; on the contrary, when there is evidence of a human population concentration in a certain place, their influence prevails even in significant kilometer radius. Such influence has been expressing parallel and exponentially in relation to absolute population growth, since anthropogenic evolution to the present.
