they don't. they just produce more offspring than the habitat they are allowed can support. all wild animals today were built over hundreds of thousands of years to produce enough to avoid extinction. a couple hundred years of spreading suburbs and citys isn't going to change their habits.

A population will continue to reproduce until the environment limits production. Even bacteria and virus' are bound to this rule, even to the extent of killing their environment for reproduction. As are humans, despite that fact that logically we could reason to how many people this world can support, who would dictate who lives and/or dies? If it were dictated would every human agree to it? Should they agree to it?

Nature is selfish, all things in nature exist to their own selfish good, even cooperation of organisms happens for selfish cause. By this fact a population will continue to produce more organisms until it is either limited by the environment or until the environment is destroyed.

This leaves us with the question: will humans reproduce to the point of killing our host, or will the host limit reproduction before that happens?
