  2. … So, our estimate here is that about 6.5 percent of all people ever born are alive today. That’s actually a fairly large percentage when you think about it.

  3. The world population is the total number of living humans on Earth. As of today, it is estimated to number 7.052 billion by the United States Census Bureau (USCB). The USCB estimates that the world population exceeded 7 billion on March 12, 2012. According to a separate estimate by the United Nations Population Fund, it reached this milestone on October 31, 2011.
