Interesting article, but most graphs would be more readable if they would use log scale.

Not sure, I think that linear scale is more understood.

My only complaint is that the graph 5 should have been ordered by the population growth rate because as it is now leave a bit distorted general picture.

Also if the timeline could be adjusted. Lots of things are more interesting if the first 4500 years of no data could be skipped so we could actually see the recent developments.
