Broadly stated, Malthusian theory holds that human and other populations will increase until checked by natural limitations, principally to do with food supply." According to the site, "his family called him Bob." Includes a biography and brief genealogy information. From "a descendant of Bob's older brother, Sydenham (Syd, probably)."
