What Was The "Forbidden Fruit"?
Was it an apple like the bible says or was it meat?
Charles Dickens had one of his characters, I believe, in Oliver Twist, say, " Don't give meat to children, it makes them aggressive and mean." In the animal world meat-eaters are cunning and aggressive. Sometimes too aggressive for their own good. They end up dead because they exceeded their limitations. In the animal world plant-eaters use memory as their best defense. They are less likely to exceed their limitations. So there are more of them.

It does stand to reason though that for a species to survive the food supply must be plentiful. There are more plants than plant eaters as well.
Will mans meddling with the size of the human population displace him on the food chain and to what consequence?
