Not at all.
I'm saying that their species, due to factors such as the frailty of infants and the reduction in birth rate during times of less nourishment, has an inbuilt resistance to explosive overpopulation. Sure, this resistance takes the form of infant mortality and is therefore not
popular, but it's still a fact that humans are far less likely to build up the kind of population pressure that orcs routinely do.
While individual mad archmages or divine prophets might play with the future survival of the species, most humans are not
able to do enough damage to seriously risk the survival of the species.
