The Next Million Years by Charles Galton Darwin: Chapter 0 - PREFACE A great scientist in his own right, Charles Galton Darwin was the grandson of Charles Darwin. This work, written around 1950, outlines what Darwin fancies as the greatest challenges 'humanity' will face in the coming centuries. He asserts that population growth and food scarcity (arguing along Malthusian lines), energy constraints (brought on by the decline of availability of fossil/ nuclear fuels), and dysgenics will be perhaps the most intractable challenges; he also speculates as to what some solutions to these challenges might be, but not in any extensive detail. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1187845.The_Next_Million_Years Audio taken from: https://archive.org/details/TheNextMillionYears
