The human population is set to crash quite hard in the next 100 years. It's backed into the cake.

Africa's fertility rate is dropping fast: 40 years it was above 6, 20 years ago it was above 5, and it dropped by 0.6 in the last ten years.

most projections expect Africa's population to peak around 2070, which is less than the timeframe GP considered.
actually I may have mis-remembered this, sorry. Possibly I was thinking of population change peaking, but I can't say for sure.

Not all human population is going to crash. Africa population in 1950 was 228.7 million, in 2025 is 1549 million. Fertility rate in 2025 is 4.05.
