The Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny
It would grow too large and run out of food.
By writing a book that proposed human suffering and death from starvation because the population of humans went up exponentially but the supply of food goes up arithmetically. Darwin took this idea as an insight. He figured that populations of organisms produced far more progeny then the environment could supply with resources. So a selective process would be put in place. The fitter organisms would survive and reproduce while this much less fit would lose the struggle for existence.

How has population growth change in 100 years
Mathus felt that population is limited by food supply so we need to limit population growth or starve.
Food supply
Thomas Malthus believed that population tends to increase faster than the food supply.
population would be limited by food supply
Thomas Malthus, an English economist, is famously known for the theory that the population would eventually outgrow the food supply leading to widespread famine and social collapse. This idea is known as the Malthusian catastrophe.
Thomas Malthus is the person who made the prediction that the human population would grow quicker than the resources required to sustain it. Malthus was an English scholar. Which is called Malthus' Principle
Food supply
Thomas Malthus believed that population tends to increase faster than the food supply.

Robert Malthus was a British cleric and scholar, influential in the fields of political economy and demography. He was widely known for his theories about change in population.
projecting population growth versus food supply
Thomas Malthus argued that population growth tends to outstrip the ability to produce food, leading to scarcity and competition for resources. He believed that population tends to increase geometrically while food supply increases arithmetically, resulting in inevitable checks such as famine, disease, or war to keep the population in check.
