If this change was implemented with humans, then
things like medicine, food, and buildings. Third-world
countires will have more to eat, and the population of
humans will go up. This is becuase with the amount of

Using our experient from yesterday as a piece

able to survive, and if this bird is a type of
prey, the predator will be able to survive, and
won't go extinct.
