But, if the "breeder" mentality, outperforms the "no we have to show restraint" mentality, then we will naturally select for population growth within a few generations. Overcrowded populations ultimately result in conflict, heck even opportunity results in conflict. The only necessary ingredient is believing you have some chance at success.
