Human Die-offs - Famine
One of the greatest causes of human die-offs is that of
famine. Without focusing too much on the effect of government
policies in causing famines, one might want to understand the
magnitude and nature of the major famines of the past. Note
that the famines in Ireland and the Ukraine are fairly well
documented on the web, whereas the famines in India and China
are not.
