  • Not an English native speaker so this is probably on me, but I find it weird to call it a fertility decline. Like, fertility of people is probably going down but the reasons people don’t have more kids are purely economical, as the article also says.

    For me a better descriptor would be something like birthing rate or whatever. Fertility decline sounds to me like people are really at it like rabbits and just cannot get any pregnancies.









  • Everyone mentioned so far is also a recent writer who actually has photographs available.

    Is there any photograph available from Shakespeare? I am a bit oblivious now when that technology started and if Shakespeare had access to it. Otherwise there are only drawings available and I think we all have seen how different the same person can look on historic documents.
