Excuse me, if this is the wrong sub for this but I’m genuinly confused. According to [this graph](https://flic.kr/p/5T5hkE) I found by accident, the world population barely increased at all between 1300 and 1900. And then it suddenly took off like crazy. What caused this sudden fast increment of the world population?

I would think it would have something to do with the invention of antibiotics. Any little infection could kill before Penicillin. A UTI infection could get into your blood, a paper cut could lead to an amputated arm which could also get infected and kill you.
