Changes in the biosphere's composition in the last 12,000 years [View all]
Since 10,000 BCE, human biomass has gone up about 200x. Wild animal biomass has gone down by about 95% over the same time. Domesticated animal biomass has increased by 20x in the last century.
If that is not a sign of human overgrowth on the planet, nothing is. But hey, educating women is going to fix it all. GMAFB.
