More people in Europe are dying than are being born, according to a new report co-authored by a Texas A&M University demographer. In contrast, births exceed deaths, by significant margins, in Texas and elsewhere in the U.S., with few exceptions.

Texas A&M Professor of Sociology Dudley Poston, along with Professor Kenneth Johnson, University of New Hampshire, and Professor Layton Field, Mount St. Mary's University, published their findings in Population and Development Review this month.

The researchers find that 17 European nations have more people dying in them than are being born (natural decrease), including three of Europe's more populous nations: Russia, Germany and Italy. In contrast, in the U.S. and in the state of Texas, births exceed deaths by a substantial margin.

    It is not that simple...

    Up to "recently", mammals had mostly 2 ways of dealing with the family:
    1: solitary, leaving the young at a small age
    2: live in a flock

    Kids, this is what happens when you think you've taught yourself ecology: sure, you can make a good-sounding argument, but you don't know enough to understand that your basic premise is bullshit...
