Lemmings, cute little rodents, breed non-stop and eat until there is no room or food left on their islands. They jump into the sea in an attempt to find new land and food. They don't. This from a nature documentary from the 1950's or 60's..
I wonder if this experiment could be done on humans and if the results would be the same. Oh...wait....
