Contribution

It provides empirical evidence against the idea of Malthusian stagnation, highlighting continuous population growth despite catastrophic events.

Findings

Population growth shows no signs of stagnation.

Minor disturbances linked to demographic catastrophes.

Empirical evidence contradicts Malthusian stagnation concept.

Abstract

Growth of human population shows no signs of stagnation. The only small disturbance is identified as being probably associated with the coinciding impacts of five demographic catastrophes. The concept of the Epoch of Malthusian Stagnation is convincingly contradicted by empirical evidence.
