It doubles roughly every 27 years. And that’s not even counting European population growth.
Unfortunately for Africa, this is not a sustainable growth as a good chunk of already existing population cannot be fed by their own agriculture. Some parts are even at starving level before the rise in price due to the Russian invasion in Ukraine.
That is what happens when your only hope for retirement are your kids
That’s where humans differ from the other animals, they don’t adapt to their environment (don’t read any kind of racism in my reflection, humans are animals, whatever their ethnicity).
Holy shit, you know the future?!
Oh hell no ,they are breeding like horny hamsters over there. No wonder they are always at some war , they don’t have enough food even for the 1900s population let alone four times that.
Because apparently everyone is ignoring the obvious: Africa is experiencing a population boom because it’s in the 2nd-3d stage of its demographic transition, while we’re in the 4th.
Basically, it’s a sign of development, and diseases, child mortality, etc… slowly being eliminated, while people have yet to catch up and start having less kids.
And yes, this also includes better agricultural production.
Europe underwent thr same process, just a century and a half earlier, in the 1800’s.

Africa can literally repopulate Europe
