APPENDIX
from World Game/l971/Document 1
...the number of babies. I found, after the Civil War, and after World War I, and World War II, momentarily for about five years, they had more babies. And man didn’t really consciously do that-the young people did not consciously do this. There was a bulge. When you knocked out a lot of people, it broke the smooth curve-she bulged. It was stuck for about five years, and it was during that five years after World War II that all the great talk began about the population explosion. When the people were not dying on one hand, and making more babies to make up for their kids that got killed in the war. So evolution seems to have some very powerful curves which you (the World Resources Inventory staff) are trying to find-not trying to invent.
Contact for help – Tony MCK – can’t wait to hear from you.
