The Human Population Through Time


This is a stunning graphical illustration of the growth of the human population.



It took 200,000 years for the population to reach 1 billion. It took just 200 years for it to reach 7 billion.



'And God said to them,“Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”' (Genesis 1: 28)



Let's be careful how we interpret that command.

  1. Indeed...we should 'obey' the 'Be fruitful and multiply' command. Sustaining and enjoying the world we live in is entirely up to we humans. Thanks for sharing Mr. Ralph.
