r-selected species

species that are only limited by how fast it can reproduce (growth-rate limited)

k-selected species

species that are only limited by the carrying capacity of their environment (carrying capacity limited)

humans have mostly which traits?

k-selected traits

humans act like what kind of species?

more like an r-selected species

r-selected species are

non-competitive and quantity-over-quality

k-selected species are

competitive and quality-over-quantity
