Question

What are some limiting factors that humans have overcome?

Answer 1

Limiting factors:

1. A limiting factor is an environmental factor, situation, or attribute that restricts or inhibits population growth, abundance, or dispersion.
2. Anything that limits the size of a population and slows or prevents its growth is referred to as a limiting factor.
3. Predation is one of the most significant limiting factors that humans have overcome and humans have no natural defense from an anatomical standpoint.
4. Predation, sickness, lack of key resources, natural disasters, and an unfriendly environment are all factors that affect human population development (and that of other organisms).
5. Humans have been able to overcome obstacles that might have otherwise prevented their population from expanding, such as the ability to build shelter, cultivate food, and share technology.
6. In contrast to all other creatures, the ability of humans to change their environment allows them to overcome density-dependent growth restrictions, which is the fundamental cause of the increase in the human population.
