De bevolkingsexplosie in sociobiologisch perspectief
Abstract
The population explosion in a sociobiological perspective - According to P. Ehrlich and A. Ehrlich the population explosion is causing enormous problems for the earth’s biosphere and the health and prosperity of the human race. They argue that, if we have to survive, we must succeed in a worldwide decline of the birth rate, combined with the development of another technology and economy. Sociobiology is rather pessimistic about this since it is the essence of human nature to reproduce and multiply. In spite of this there are reasons to believe that humankind is able to achieve in a declining birth rate, and this thesis is even supported by a less mono-causal form of sociobiology, namely one that takes account of the genetic or natural and the cultural make-up of human beings.
