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?

According to some estimates, about 117 billion humans have ever lived on Earth since 190,000 BCE. The current global population is about 7.8 billion, which means that those alive today represent nearly 7% of the total number of people who have ever lived. This also means that there are about 15 dead people for every person living.

I find it very interesting to realize that we, as a species, are growing so fast due to some "random" inventions through time, like fire, writing and farming. Before that we were just like other species: powerless and poor. All these inventions gave us food, wealth and time (to even think and create better inventions) . Other species need to fight for survival all the time, while we made possible to watch some YouTube videos and not worry about being killed because something else is hungry. It is like we are inside a game that everyone loses but we are cheating
