Paul R. Ehrlich is an American biologist and Bing Professor Emeritus of Population Studies at Stanford University. He is known for his influential book, The Population Bomb, published in 1968 with his wife, Anne H. Ehrlich. The book warned about the consequences of population growth, such as famine and resource depletion. Ehrlich proposed population control measures, including coercive methods if voluntary approaches were ineffective. While some scholars agree with his perspectives, Ehrlich has also faced criticism for the pessimistic nature of his predictions and instances where they have not come true.
