Here's an important niche mosquitoes fill. Keeping the human population in check... But there are arguments about how necessary this role really is I guess.

Here's an important niche mosquitoes fill. Keeping the human population in check...
But there are arguments about how necessary this role really is I guess.
- bayesianhorse 11y agoI don't believe they do, because the death rates just aren't that high. Population-limiting factors for Humans have historically been mostly food supply and childhood diseases. I've heard that Malaria wasn't so much of a problem until people where driven into malaria-infested areas due to population growth.
- bayesianhorse 11y agoToday the population limiting factor for Humans seems to be women's education. No kidding, this seems to be the number one factor in birth-rates. The more education women are getting the less babies are born. And I am generally in favor of both, more education and less procreation.
