Detailed explanation-1: -Malthus’ most famous work was his Essay on the Principle of Population, first published in 1798 and enlarged in later editions. This work contained his famous argument that human populations tend to grow faster than agricultural output, resulting in famines or crises.
Detailed explanation-2: -Thomas Malthus’ inspired Darwin to refine natural selection by stating a reason for meaningful competition between members of the same species. Malthus believed that hunger and disease were aspects of life implemented by God to stop populations from exploding.
Detailed explanation-3: -Malthusian Theory: The relationship between food production and food supply was first expressed by an English Economist called Thomas Robert Malthus (1798-1823). Malthus stated that population increased in a geometric progression (ie., 2, 4, 16, 132…)
