Why hasn't the population of humans on earth leveled off or reached carrying capacity?

People have used animals in psychological and biological experiments for decades. This is no exception. Consider the rat in a box model.Take a box from which a rat cannot escape. Place within the box the means to adequately feed and water the rat and eliminate his waste so that the rat remains optimally healthy. The rat will thrive. Now, begin adding one more rat per week but change no other variables. The first changes you will note will be competition squabbles between the box's occupants. Continue raising the population and eventually the rats will begin eating each other. Eventually, the environment of the box will no longer be able to support rat life.The box is the Earth.
