What caused a population boom in the Neolithic Age?
There could have been many causes for the neolithic revolution.
It could have been because of a population increase that forced the people to stop hunting and gathering because the fruits of their labor were only sufficient for a short amount of time. They needed a sure-fire way to insure that they had a steady food supply for all of their people. Thus, they planted the seeds they were gathering and cultivated some of the most basic types of plants such as wheat and barley.
It also could have been because of over hunting and over gathering that left all of the land they migrated to virtually barren. This, of course, posed a problem to their survival. It could have made them so desprate as to intrude into other peoples hunting grounds leading to conflicts between the two groups. So, war could have been another reason. You would want to avoid confrontation if you were starving, right?

The basic impetus could have been to avoid conflicts with stronger tribes, or it could have been that a tribe found the most lush and plentiful area they had ever found, and decided to stay there. They then had to build more durable homes, and set up sanitary facilities to keep their water fresh. It could be that people and animals had begun accidentally fertilizing wild "farms" with their travels. In any event, farming was probably the equivalent of the Amerindian tribes, who learned to rotate crops and simply bring back gathered foods to some more-or-less permanent spot that they were comfortable in.

How does high population growth put a burden on developing countries?
There was in need of more jobs, food, education, and housing. There was also lots of pollution in Mexico while this happened there.
For the above reasons there is the pressure and struggle of land and resources in the urban centers.Another effect is that the hard and energetic youth who will be working or improving about the rural or local industries and farms end up in the urban centers.
There is also a problem of family breakup because people migrate without their family along with them to search for "greener pasture" and white "color job" which is no where to be found in the urban centers.

What state has the highest population of polygamists?
Polygamy is illegal in the United States although it is still practiced by fundamentalist groups located mainly in the Western United States: Utah, Texas, South Dakota, Nevada, Montana, Colorado, Idaho, and of course Arizona. Since the practice is illegal and the groups do not always marry legally within their jurisdictions it is nearly impossible to obtain accurate statistics.
In some cases the men marry repeatedly and divorce their wives between each marriage so that each can be rightfully be called Mrs. They continue to all live together as a single family. Polygamy often involves child abuse of young girls forced to marry older men. That aspect has been used in recent prosecutions.
Utah is likely to have the highest number.
