Sigh...
According to a report prepared by the UN on world population, there
will be 9.7 billion people living in 2050. By the end of the century
this number will be 11 billion. The main reason for the increase is
that humans are living longer lives.

Significance
Bioarchaeological investigation of human remains from Neolithic
Çatalhöyük, Turkey, contributes to a growing body of data
documenting population dynamics, health, and lifestyle of early
farmers in Holocene settings in the Near East and globally. The
extensive archaeological context of foodways, material culture,
housing, environment, ecology, population structure and size,
social interaction, and community living informs interpretation of
the bioarchaeological record representing nearly 1,200 continuous
years of community life. This record presents biological outcomes
and comprehensive understanding of the challenges associated
with dependence on domesticated plants and animals, the labor
involved in acquiring food and other resources, impacts of settled
community life on health and well-being, and evolving lifeways to
the present day.
Abstract
The transition from a human diet based exclusively on wild plants and
animals to one involving dependence on domesticated plants and
animals beginning 10,000 to 11,000 y ago in Southwest Asia set into
motion a series of profound health, lifestyle, social, and economic
changes affecting human populations throughout most of the world.
However, the social, cultural, behavioral, and other factors surrounding
health and lifestyle associated with the foraging-to-farming transition
are vague, owing to an incomplete or poorly understood contextual
archaeological record of living conditions. Bioarchaeological
investigation of the extraordinary record of human remains and their
context from Neolithic Çatalhöyük (7100–5950 cal BCE), a massive
archaeological site in south-central Anatolia (Turkey), provides
important perspectives on population dynamics, health outcomes,
behavioral adaptations, interpersonal conflict, and a record of
community resilience over the life of this single early farming settlement
having the attributes of a protocity. Study of Çatalhöyük
human biology reveals increasing costs to members
of the settlement, including elevated exposure to
disease and labor demands in response to
community dependence on and production of
domesticated plant carbohydrates, growing population
size and density fueled by elevated fertility, and
increasing stresses due to heightened workload
and greater mobility required for caprine herding
and other resource acquisition activities over the
nearly 12 centuries of settlement occupation.
These changes in life conditions foreshadow
developments that would take place worldwide
over the millennia following the abandonment of
Neolithic Çatalhöyük, including health challenges,
adaptive patterns, physical activity, and emerging
social behaviors involving interpersonal violence.
