| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | The population problem by A. M. Carr-Saunders is a scientific treatise written in the early 20th century. It examines population through both quantitative (numbers, growth, resources) and qualitative (heredity, evolution, eugenics) lenses, framing modern concerns within a broad biological and historical perspective. The work aims to connect economic debates with evolutionary theory, surveying how customs, institutions, and biological factors shape fertility and human development.<br/><br/>The opening of the work sets out its wartime origins, ambitious scope, and method: to view population questions historically and evolutionarily, and to relate issues of numbers and quality to a common biological basis. It then offers a brisk historical survey from Plato and Roman writers to mercantilists and early economists, culminating in Malthus’s influence, the heated reception of his ideas, early neo-Malthusian advocacy, and the decisive impact on Darwin and Wallace. The text next lays biological groundwork: explaining sexual reproduction, gametes, and fertilization; showing that among animals most ripe ova are fertilized due to vast sperm production and strong sexual instincts; and sketching reflex, instinct, and elementary intelligence. It concludes, for the opening portion, that animal reproduction is essentially “mechanical” (fecundity ≈ realized fertility), whereas in humans conceptual thought and socially shaped practices (e.g., abstinence, abortion, infanticide, sexual customs) intervene, creating a gap between innate fecundity and actual fertility.
