COMMENTS:
I wondered who did the census back before the previous mass extinctions and worldwide disasters?

It's probably way more than 60 billion who have ever lived and died.

Voted : True
I have heard this is the case -- which is why I don't believe in 'past lives.'

The question is, when did "people" start being people, and stop being monkeys?

not yet ;)

Wow. I had no clue it was that much.

False, I'm guessing but I think 30 billion or so have lived on this planet at one time and passed on?

DAMMIT! I'm only 50% right, or, 100% wrong? HAH!
by jappy on Fri Sep 08, 06 11:53am [+]

False of course!
by Dot on Fri Nov 03, 06 11:56am [+]

Yeah because the birth rate has always been higher than the death rate, so yes...no contest.
by um__yeah on Sat Nov 11, 06 5:48am [+]

Hmmm..oh right.
by um__yeah on Sat Nov 11, 06 5:49am [+]

It's actually about 100 billion that have lived minus the 6.5 billion that are alive today. 6.5% is a scarily large percentage. Think of how many elephants, chimps, or even insects are alive now compared to the total populations of their species throughout time.
by Pig_Man on Fri Jan 05, 07 4:10pm [+]

Its definitely false.....as of 2007 the world population is 6.6 billion.....over the course of human history......the total number of people who have lived and died is between 70 and 110 billion.
