Visualizing How A Population Grows To 7 Billion

Visualizing How A Population Grows To 7 Billion
7 Billion: How Did We Get So Big So Fast? Watch as global population explodes from 300 million to 7 billion. Sometime Monday, the world will have more humans than ever: 7 billion, according to the U.N. The U.N. estimates that the world's population will pass the 7 billion mark on Monday. Much of that growth has happened in Asia — in India and China. Those two countries have been among the world's most populous for centuries. Due in part to that region's extreme poverty, infant mortality rates are high and access to family planning is low. As NPR's Adam Cole reports, it was just over two centuries ago that the global population was 1 billion — in 1804. As higher standards of living and better health care are reaching more parts of the world, the rates of fertility — and population growth — have started to slow down, though the population will continue to grow for the foreseeable future.

Evolución de la Población 3. Evolución de la población. 3.1 Evolución histórica de la población. A lo largo de la historia la evolución de la población no ha llevado siempre el mismo ritmo de crecimiento que hay actualmente (Gráfico 3). Una vez establecidos estos cambios, la población se estanca, creciendo con altibajos y muy dependiente de las catástrofes naturales y humanas como epidemias, malas cosechas, guerras, etc. No es hasta el inicio de la edad moderna cuando la población comienza un ligero aumento, llegando a los seiscientos millones en el año 1600, siendo aun un crecimiento catastrófico. El segundo momento histórico importante para el crecimiento de la población lo encontramos durante la Revolución Industrial. Gráfico 3.

À gauche, le classement des sept pays les plus peuplés en 2011 et une estimation de ce classement en 2050. © Idé En animation : 7 milliards d'êtres humains dans le monde ! Sept milliards d'êtres humains peupleront la Terre ce 31 octobre. Comment se situe la France dans les statistiques de la population mondiale ? L'animation ci-dessous montre l'évolution démographique depuis 1800 jusqu'à aujourd'hui. Sept milliards d'être humains dans le monde en 2011, qu'en sera-t-il en 2050 ? Avec une espérance de vie mondiale qui augmente, le vieillissement de la population est inévitable. Après 2050, on estime que la progression se ralentira et que la population mondiale devrait ensuite se stabiliser entre 9 et 15 milliards. À voir aussi sur Internet Sur le même sujet

Circulatory System Circulatory System for Kids The human circulatory system consists of vessels, muscles and organs that help and control the flow of the blood and lymph around the body. It is collectively composed of the cardiovascular system and the lymphatic system with the heart, arteries, capillaries, veins and the blood being the main parts. The circulatory system moves nutrients, gases, and wastes to and from cells to maintain homeostasis. It helps fight diseases, maintains body temperature and pH.

El neolític | La prehistòria El Neolític va ser una època en que els homes prehistòrics van descobrir moltes coses que els ajudaren a viure millor. Anem a conèixer com va anar canviant la seva vida. Quan comença El neolític comença fa 10.000 anys abans de Crist. La vida de l’home neolític Com que eren sedentaris, vivien en cabanes, i en petits poblats. L’alimentació Els homes i les dones del Neolític, s’alimentaven principalment de les plantes que conreaven: cereals (blat, civada, sègol, ordi…) llegums (llenties, ciurons, pèsols…); encara que no van deixar de recol·lectar fruits silvestres. Sergio de la Rosa i Qamar Les seves eines. La destral: L’utilitzaven per construir cabanes i estava fet de fusta i de pedra. La falç: S’utilitzava per tallar el blat i estava fet de fusta i dents Les pales: s’utilitzava per fer forats a la terra i estava fet de fusta. Aixada: S’utilitzava per cavar la terra i estava feta de pedra i de fusta. Molins de mà: s’utilitzava per moldre el gla i estava fet de dos pedres. Raúl Pérez Boyer

HarassMap Drone photos capture the dramatic inequality of Nairobi's neighborhoods — Quartz The global festival of music, art and culture doesn’t arrive in Johannesburg for another six months, but its expansion to the continent already marks a moment in Afropunk’s coming-of-age. About 12,000 people each day, from across Africa and around the world, are expected to gather starting Dec. 30 at the city’s Constitution Hill for a weekend of performances by Solange Knowles, Anderson .Paak & The Free Nationals, King Tha, Blk Jks, Laura Mvula, The Brother Moves On, Nakhane and Spoke Mathambo, among other established and emerging artists. Johannesburg is the latest locale for Afropunk, which debuted a dozen years ago in Brooklyn and has since expanded to Paris, Atlanta and London. “We go where we have community and we go where people want us,” says festival co-founder Jocelyn Cooper. “We’ve wanted to be on the continent, we love the culture in South Africa and we have a lot of contributors to our site who are there.”

Year-by-Year World Population Estimates: 10,000 B.C. to 2007 A.D. There are numerous world population estimates out there. These estimates can differ greatly from one to the next and some are more thorough than others. Finding estimates for the world’s population in the past 50 years is easy. The most “complete” set of estimates is provided by Atlas of World Population History (McEvedy and Jones 1978). Another good set of estimates comes from Population Growth and Land Use (Clark 1968). The League of Nations, the UN, and the US Census Bureau provide nearly complete estimates for each year in the 20th Century. Certain years in the estimates vary greatly between the different sets. Again, being accurate about population estimates from 2,000 years ago is impossible, but by taking all sets of estimates, creating an interpolation to fill in the gaps, and averaging all the estimates, we can get a more complete picture provided by the professionals. The following chart is comprised of 12 sets of estimates. Filling in the Gaps ). The Caveats Bibliography . U.S.
