I don’t think so and I think MWK is on the right track. Most recorded famine disasters in the world seems to be done on purpose for reason of power, politics or the all time favorite - money. Yes, at times people tend to get hungry and maybe skip a meal, but the notion that humanity has barely been able to keep one step ahead of starvation is not true. Instead, humanity grew with the availability of food. As we got more and more efficient, people started breeding. I have a hard time thinking that Caveman Grunt and Cavewoman Gruntina, facing starvation, would decide to make more little runts.
I’ve got no online source for this, but refer you to Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond and All the troubles in the world by P.J. O’Rourke.
