The number of people alive today represents 7 percent of all humans who ever lived
Humans are believed to have first appeared 50,000 years ago. Around 108 billion members of our species have been born since then. However, the drastic increase in quality of life in the past century has led to more people being born and staying alive for longer.
Because of this, estimates say that the number of people alive today represents 7 percent of all humans that have ever lived. Is that not a mind-blowing piece of information?
