Other animals have natural curbs on population. Predator's, diseases. And reach some equilibrium. Humans have been very good at overcoming any natural limit on population. But think that is the point of the article? That humans have continued to expand, on the boom-bust curve, -> humans are on an every increasing upward curve, and thus heading fast into some inevitable limit that will cause a crash. So kind of like a virus that grows un-abated until it kills the host. There is no equilibrium point reached. Yes, like some other animals, just more dramatic. The host is the entire planet.
