BMac Posted December 28, 2003 Share Posted December 28, 2003 Btw, winxptwker asked approx so that's why I just said 6 billion. Just one of those common knowledge things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poind Posted December 28, 2003 Share Posted December 28, 2003 (edited) So does this mean the living do outnumber the dead now? (I.E., total humans alive today outnumber all those considered "human" who've ever died?) Thought I heard over the last decade (?) or so that such a pivot point had indeed occurred. [Edit: After doing my own websearching, seems that it's pretty unlikely the living do outnumber the dead unless one treats humanity as nothing but exponential mathematics. Interesting at the least it seems to be a point that's still being debated though.] Edited December 28, 2003 by poind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd never heard that. Don't know if it's true but it's possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Frett Posted December 28, 2003 Share Posted December 28, 2003 You know how bob barker always says "help control the pet population, have your pet spade or nudered" ? Speaking for myself, I think the same should apply to humans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChicoCahill Posted December 28, 2003 Share Posted December 28, 2003 i don't think there are more people living than dead, how can we know how many people have died so many years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldmate15 Posted December 28, 2003 Share Posted December 28, 2003 Hmm, could you imagine looking at that counter a few months ago to now? the number would have dropped about 3 million.. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
