The evolutionist has a problem here. Where are all the people if we have been breeding for such a hypothetically long time? Wars and famine?
What you are missing in the big picture is that for much of the history of mankind we were limited by local geographical carrying capacity. This limited our growth potential. It has only been recently in our history that it became possible for us to make use of phantom carrying capacity and ghost acreage [Trade and Fish acreage] in expanded our population greatly. The switch to intensive agriculture from hunting gathering and more complex trasportation systems from simple transportation methods is what helped increase our population from roughly 600 million in the 17th century to about 6.4 billion now. It is of course more complicated than this but I hope you get the picture.
