I would have guessed "in the 1800's" and that's as close a margin as I would have gone.
Not sure why that becomes an important part of the scarcity topic though.
Also, not sure why you seem so thin-skinned about this. Have a nice day.

It took 300,000 years for population to reach one billion. Now a billion people are generated every 20 years. Why such a difference ? Techno abundance.
if there was no scarcity before as you claim, the population would have exploded long before 1800. We would have hit a billion in 2 AD
