Notice how little evidence we have for most human societies in history to be really close to Malthusian population bounds.
It's really incompatible with evidence unless you take "extreme long term view" like Robin, in which case it becomes essentially non-empirical.
Any theories about why human populations typically don't get near Malthusian bounds?
