It took 200,000 years for our human population to reach 1 billion—and only 200 years to reach 7 billion. But growth has begun slowing, as women have fewer babies on average. When will our global population peak? And how can we minimize our impact on Earth’s resources, even as we approach 11 billion?

Thanos was right!
i've seen several Recent European articles that says that the entire western human race can be traced back to the Indian subcontinent, which means that the Ancestors of the western human race were all from Indian subcontinent and of the Eastern human race were mostly from Indian-Tibetan-Chinese land. Indian Ancient civilization was the most advanced and prosperous land, and some went towards the rest of the world bcz some of them were travelers, some faced criminal charges and hence thrown out of the kingdoms and some in the search of better cultivating land and easy access to water..
Look up the growth graf of bacteria that are put in a new petri dish with plenty of room and food, the graf is the same except when allowed to continue the environment in the petri dish, due to overpopulation and waste, crashes down to maybe 15% of it's peak and then continues on in a more sustained way. There is no reason to believe that the human population would not follow this same pattern in an environment with plenty of space and food. It's just the space is a lot larger and the time span is extended out, but the result will be the same. That is if we don't have a huge nuclear war that accomplishes the same result.
Also I think there was a moment about 70,000 years ago that something caused the human population to drop to maybe 5,000 people. The human race survived by only the merest of threads.
I dont believe life started in Africa…if it did we all would be BLACK…yes?
Are you out of your mind? That is a lie becase we don't have records since recent times – who knows the populations 500 1000 3000 200.000 years ago Nobody! We have a record for ancient Greece bC for 6.000.000 people How about China and India and North and South America – they say that during colonization killed about 300.000 people in USA – you know nothing of ancient world population and civilizations + Overpopulation is a myth the planet is empty! and can take 10+ times more people than today
The american moon landing in the 1960s was one big hoax!!
VERY INTERESTING INFORMATION
The moment you realize we spent half of humanity in Africa before migrating.
I don’t see where the plagues or the major wars were accounted for
The end of the vid: giger counter go weeeeeeeeeeee
😢🙏💯👍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👋🙌
Human population is a pyramid scheme.
About time!
Why so many people in the India
INDIA PAKISTAN BANGLADESH be like: yellow
im honestly dissapointed of how the earth has evolved :/
0:12 Like a Virus – Like C19.
Now I understood the power of compounding.
Music name?
That's an amazing spike in growth rate around 5000 BC. You might say, ridiculous.
yeesh, I can't believe Australia had is represented as having no population until European settlement! Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders are one of the world's oldest civilisations, in fact, they are literally the world's oldest surviving civilisation. Estimates of the pre-colonial Aboriginal population are between 750,000 and 3 million. I wonder how many other significant groups aren't represented in this video.
Strange how something so significant is hardly ever talked about
Overpopulation kills
this is what we need wars
Ottoman Empire?
BS!
To me the biggest surprise is Japan in the 80s and 90s. They caught up a lot with America. But have stalled out since.
Fakep
I remember my teacher telling the class the Planet will reach 7 billion people in your lifetime.
If only Africa knew what her children will do to their siblings who didn’t migrate at the end of the day 😭
Why are you not showing African empires,not even one hmmmm.
7 billion population in the world before pandemi…
Depopulation by the elites is a farcity. The planet can actually support 12 billion people without their problems and their solutions. If we had a reworked system without capitalism, and all but technologies released to the public, we would face a shock then revolution then utopia.
Fun fact: 100 billion humans are currently dead.
