American Museum of Natural History | Human Population Through Time (Updated in 2023) #datavisualization @AmericanMuseumofNaturalHistory | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 6 hours ago
It took most of human history for our population to reach 1 billion—and just over 200 years to reach 8 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 10 billion?
