Quote by Garrett Hardin
Of course, a positive growth rate might be taken as evidence that a population is below its optimum.
Summary
This quote suggests that a positive growth rate in a population could imply that the population is still below its optimal level. In other words, a growing population may not have reached its maximum capacity or ideal balance. It implies that even though more individuals are being added to the population, there is still room for further growth and development without compromising the environment or resources. This perspective emphasizes the potential for expansion and progress beyond the current population size.
