Rifgt now we have had big lamdas and big r (population growth rate)... but there really isn't any reason why our populations wouldn't behave like all other poplations.

I read somwhere that the worl population is expected to increase until 9 billion, and then start to slowly decrease. This is due to effects of large developing nations becoming wealthier and education levels increasing, which usually results in less people being born. Interestingly, the OP stopped the prediction at the 9 billion and didnt continue.
