Polish scientist predicts mankind the great extinction... uneducated women
On Earth, the next great extinction, the cause of which will be not a meteorite or a volcano, and people. Anthropologist, University of Wroclaw Boguslaw Pawlowski believes that the world's population is growing at an incredible rate and this can lead to disaster, said the Polish cultural and business center with reference to the newspaper Gazeta Wyborcza.
— Or we slow down or we will have a catastrophe, — said the scientist. Thinking in the style of "we were, are and will be" or "man is the master of the world" will lead us to destruction.
Professor Pawlowski, who directs the Department of human biology, says that now every year we are eating half more resources than the Earth is able to replenish.
Fact is, we live on credit. This is an unprecedented situation to have some body, which is the highest link in the food chain, had such an advantage. This train needs to go off the rails, he explained.
As proof of his theory, the scientist quoted.
On Earth there are about 7 billion 200 million people. With the 60-ies of the last century on average every 12-14 years, the population increased by another billion! Now the pace is a little weak, but we absolutely do not know what will happen next. Various studies, including the who and the UN indicate that in the middle of the century, the population may consist of from 3 to 25 billion., — said Pavlovsky.
In his opinion, the most important factor that may slow the development of our species and to prevent the disaster, will be the education of women, because they control the birth rate.
Where women are educated and professionally active, the natural increase is reduced, — said the anthropologist.
Scientists believe that humanity will face a bleak future. Pandemic and water shortages can lead to giant problems. According to him, we have not much time to intervene in the apocalyptic scenario.
— Dinosaurs ruled the Land for 170 million years. Homo sapiens — 200 thousand years, and their self-confidence can lead to the fact that they will no longer "rule the roost", — concluded the Professor.
