I chose that one too, because if you looked at the other 2 graphs carefully, the maya population didnt die out as soon as the forest canopy amount dropped or the soil erosion amount peaked.
the population continued to grow, and then suddenly crashed, indicating that it may not have even had anything to do with deforestation/soil erosion... but we know for sure that the population increase
did affect deforestation/erosion rates
.....if that made sense to anyone.
edit: also I think we don't get to see them unless you personally request to do so. you could always ask Alastair though.
