with a Pod after 10000 BC, could we have a very different world in terms of population distribution? Could we have, for example, 1,5 billion people leaving in North America, and only 300 in what's no East Asia?
Or is there a sort of geographical limitation that constrtains how much population the world can have (and we are close to this limists in mosts territories)?
And if there's such a law, could it be overcome by technology? I don't mean futuristic technology, but the technology we've invented through our own history: for example, if rice cultivation had been developped in the Missisippi in PRecolumbian Amerco or imported from Asia, would the South Eastern US have a much larger population? And so on...
EDIT: Yes, I know it's similar to this thread (https://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=217522), only it's reach is wider and I'm more interested in how important are geographical limitations for population growth (if they do matter at all) and how can they be overcome than in how exactly can we get 1500 millions in North America today, with our current level of technology worldwide
