Unless this model doesn't apply to the human population. While I'm sure it does in the general aspect, it seems likely that once the overshoot has begun, we'll be able to stave off the decline (starvation, disease, and therefore war) more effectively than other species, leading to a larger overshoot and eventually, a more drastic decline.
