The emergence of humans accounts for just a blink in the timeline of our planet – but in the short period that humans have lived on Earth, populations have risen to staggering numbers.

The most dramatic increase has occurred only recently; while it took humans roughly 200,000 years to reach a population of 1 billion, it took just 200 years beyond that to get to where we are now.
