erections over a lifetime
A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk, I have a work station.

No to both.

Why would erections fluctuate so wildly over time?

For population, the oscillations caused me to think there might be a predator-prey system involved here.

They fluctuate wildly in the first part of life, then they suddenly stop just about mid-life-ish, and then you begin to minutely analyse things. Just sayin'.

There is, in a way - but I don't think this train of thought will be very intructive to, because the way in which this is a predator/prey system is much too involved.

The spike on the right had me wondering if it was influenza (early 20th century), but then I thought the earlier part of the graph probably shouldn't be so high.

I had precisely the same thought. Been trying to think of fatal diseases that are just about, but not entirely, licked these days.

Very interesting thoughts. The influenza spikes are rarer - really serious epidemics are farther apart, decades, rather than years.

Not that bad - but worse than what most people would think whn they hear the name of the disease (and therein lies the point).
