Live people outnumber all dead people
According to Scientific American...
The human population has swelled so much that people alive today outnumber all those who have ever lived.
Carl Haub, a demographer at the Population Reference Bureau, Washington, D.C., calculated the human population growth rates during different historical periods to determine the number of dead people.
With 7 billion present population to work with it does sound plausible.

Yes, and the math has been done many times, this is old news. iirc it happened before the live population reached 2 billion.

Re: Live people outnumber all dead people
If this is reasonably close to the line, the question of how they count infant mortality becomes highly significant.

Re: Live people outnumber all dead people
Um, no.
As Scientific American points out, the number of people who have lived is something like 100 billion -- more than an order of magnitude larger than the number of people currently living.

Re: Live people outnumber all dead people
Hey, though, according to Seymour Lessans, the number of people who have ever lived is trillions and trillions, and as we all know, Seymour was never wrong!

He is an idiot, population is exponential.

Well, if we do outnumber the deads, we stand a better chance surviving the zombie apocalypse...so that's good

Yea, but each one that they kill turns to play for the other team, this would be exponential also..

You can't count Neanderthal thru Australopithecus. Those dumb fucks couldn't make a society of exponential growth as we have.

You do know that all animal species populations grow exponentially under the right circumstances, right? They only slow down when predators or resource limitations rein them in. Resource limitations will eventually rein us in as well.

And we are the only ones that have figured this and used it for scientific purpose.

No one did.
Both the genetic and the fossil records establish that Homo sapiens is at least 200,000 years old, and likely at least 400,000 years old.

You should check this shit before you post it.
The Oldest Homo Sapiens: Fossils Push Human Emergence Back To 195,000 Years Ago
When the bones of two early humans were found in 1967 near Kibish, Ethiopia, they were thought to be 130,000 years old. A few years ago, researchers found 154,000- to 160,000-year-old human bones at Herto, Ethiopia. Now, a new study of the 1967 fossil site indicates the earliest known members of our species, Homo sapiens, roamed Africa about 195,000 years ago.

Re: Live people outnumber all dead people
So, we are not 200,000 years old yet, much less 400,000, and did you notice that every new find keeps pushing the date back, like all new finds are always older or something...
