The population limit is dependent on many factors. Back when humans lived in hunter gatherer societies the population limit was very low, a few square miles could only support a small population but now, with better organization, food production, etc we can support a higher population. We make many changes to raise the population limit with more efficient food, energy, and water extraction and other methods in those senses.

I think the population really started growing at a very fast rate once we learned how to extract energy from the earth. That was the real turning point.
