“How did mankind survive for 200,000 years without the UN World Food Programme, food stamps or WIC?”
With a massive infant mortality rate, and an average lifespan of 40 years or less. Mostly we did it by breeding like rabbits and hoping at least a few of our kids would survive long enough to have kids of their own. You know, kinda like how they do it in third-world nations, today.
