和訳お願いします！！As religious forecasts of the world’s end receded、 Le Bras argues、 population growth itself provided an ersatz mechanism of apocalypse. “It crystallized the ancient fear、 and perhaps the ancient hope、 of the end of days、” he writes. In 1798 Thomas Malthus、 an English priest and economist、 enunciated his general law of population: that it necessarily grows faster than the food supply、 until war、 disease、 and famine arrive to reduce the number of people. As it turned out、 the last plagues great enough to put a dent in global population had already happened when Malthus wrote. World population hasn’t fallen、 historians think、 since the Black Death of the 14th century. In the two centuries after Malthus declared that population couldn’t continue to soar、 that’s exactly what it did. The process started in what we now call the developed countries、 which were then still developing. The spread of New World crops like corn and the potato、 along with the discovery of chemical fertilizers、 helped banish starvation in Europe. Growing cities remained cesspools of disease at first、 but from the mid-19th century on、 sewers began to channel human waste away from drinking water、 which was then filtered and chlorinated; that dramatically reduced the spread of cholera and typhus. Moreover in 1798、 the same year that Malthus published his dyspeptic tract、 his compatriot Edward Jenner described a vaccine for smallpox?the first and most important in a series of vaccines and antibiotics that、 along with better nutrition and sanitation、 would double life expectancy in the industrializing countries、 from 35 years to 77 today. It would take a cranky person to see that trend as gloomy: “The development of medical science was the straw that broke the camel’s back、” wrote Stanford population biologist Paul Ehrlich in 1968.→続きはこちら
