Q. Say there is a population of humans who have found three earth-like planets to live on. Over four hundred years, how big would the population get if it had that much room to expand? Thanks, everyone! Asked by The Writer - Mon May 11 01:06:49 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. What I did when I was writing my SF novel was to think of the USA. If you take what happened from 1492 to the present and find out the current population of the US it could give you a rough template to work on. But remember that their may be other factors in your futuristic tale that might impact on your eventual population. And I suppose you have to ask yourself the question of whether or not you should go into such detail at the outset. I did not mention a number but did state that many billions had made their home there. So there are ways of working around using an exact figure unless of course it has a significant bearing on the story. Hope this helps a bit. Good luck.

Weak individuals would eventually die out because not being able to adapt as well to the environment, and thus leave no offspring. 3) natural selection would still favor those the reproduce most and survive best, if the changes are dramatic and none in the original population can survive it in the end, then they will all die out. But that's not how natural selection works: natural selection will take out those that are worst adapted first, then go on to take out more well prepared. The strongest individuals will hopefully be strong enough to survive the changes, and at… [cont.] Answered by Calle E - Sat Mar 7 18:08:40 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "population" |
