1. The world's population hit one billion people in the year 1804. The world hit 2 billion people only 123 years later (1927). Today's world population minus one billion people was only a bit more than a decade ago. Now that's 3 facts for just number 1.

2.According to the World Overpopulation Awareness, there are twice as many people alive as there were in 1960.

3.According to the Houston Chronicle, 3 day's worth of babies born around the world is equivalent to the entire land area of San Francisco, a city in the U.S. state of Califronia. So every baby born around the world can have a spot in San Francisco up to 3 days, or the city will be full.

4.Since the first human being, there has been an estimate of over 100 billion people born on this Earth up to 1995. So people like Aristotle, Beethoven, and Leonardo da Vinci are a part of this 100 billion people, because they are humans that have been born on this Earth since the beginning of time.

You see, back in the old times, there were times where only a thousand people lived on the Earth, and times where only a million people live on this Earth. The city of Chicago itself today is has a population greater than that, but as of today, 6 billion people are alive in the year 1999.
