Are We Headed for a Population Plot Twist?

Turns out, the old '2.1 kids per woman' rule to keep the population steady might be way off. New research says we actually need closer to 2.7 kids per woman to avoid long-term extinction—especially in smaller communities. Random stuff like who actually has kids, mortality, and even birth gender ratios make a big difference. With global fertility rates dropping, it’s wild to think most family lines could eventually disappear. Talk about a plot twist for humanity! #PopulationTrends #FertilityRate #FutureOfHumanity #ScienceNews #MindBlown #Health
