The resources of a remote island, marginalized from the entire planet and measuring just over 163 square kilometers, are finite. In that small space, the increase in population represents one of the greatest challenges, since, little by little, the land for agricultural use becomes insufficient. This is what happened to the inhabitants of the Easter Island (Chile), the Rapanui, who suffered a great decline in their population due to lack of food. At the time, the false belief spread that they were the cause of their disappearance by abusing their system. However, his collapse did not come only because of his bad behavior. A new study published in Proceedings of the Royal Society It shows that climate change, the arrival of Europeans and epidemics also had a lot to do with it.
