According to Malthus, when food production is more than is needed by the population, the population increases; if population grows too much faster than food production, the population growth is slowed by famine, disease, and war.

Malthus described the effects of a rising human population and a limited supply of food, leading to the "Malthusian catastrophe" in which there were too many people and not enough food. Darwin applied this to all populations and saw that resources (or lack thereof) limit survival.

Thomas Malthus predicted that the human population will grow faster than the space and food suples needed to sustain it. Darwin and Malthus concluded that If all offspring of almost any species survived for several generations, they would overrun the world.

Malthus emphasized the fact that organisms compete for survival, and this became a part of Darwin's theory of evolution. Malthusâ?? Principle of Population was an important work that influenced Darwin.

Thomas Malthus believed that population growth was Exponential, whereas the supply of such needs as food were linear. Therefore, such needs would always be scarce, meaning there would be competition for such needs because there wouldn't be enough for everyone. Charles Darwin believed those organisms with certain adaptations will best compete for those needs, and organisms without certain adaptations will die off. That is how populations evolve.

Thomas Malthus believed that all living things were in a constant struggle for survival. Darwin translated this into his hypothesis, saying that those who evolved were more equipped to survive, and thus won the struggle of survival. The animals/organisms who did not evolve in this way, died, and a new species emerged from the animals who survived. These organisms were 'naturally selected' through the survival of the fittest.

Malthus wrote a book that claimed human population grows exponentially while food supply grows arithmetically. Darwin used this concept to postulate that many more organisms are born into the world that there are resources to support them and this erect a struggle for existence between organisms of the same species and, to a lesser extent, between organisms of different species.

lyell influenced Darwin by studying the geographic accounts of fossils. his work was plausible enough that Darwin could present his ideas with some other supporting ideas.

How do the statement of malthus relate with the present situation of the world?

Thomas Malthus noted in the 18th century that the rate of increase in world population exceeded that of food production and predicted that only famine, war and pestilence will curb the continuing increase in human population. This prediction underscores the importance of finding new technology to increase food production worldwide as well as to improve awareness on the negative effects of a bloated population. It is estimated that if we should go back to the natural way of finding food by hunting and gathering of food from the wild, only 2 of every 1000 humans in 2011 will survive.

How does malthusian theory relate to Caribbean?

That was the theory of Thomas Robert Malthus (1766-1834), the English Cleric, author of the Essay on the Principle of Population and originator of the perception of economics as "the dismal science". Malthus reasoned that human population tends to grow at a geometrical rate, while our ability to prooduce subsistence increases at a merely arithmetical rate -- and so we find ourselves in an ever-deepening spiral of suffering caused by overpopulation. In Malthus's view this process could only be slowed by the "preventive check" of decreased fertility, or the "positive check" of increased mortality.
