Wait A Minute - How Did Humans Quadrupled Their Population in A Hundred Years ( 1920 - 1.8 billion vs 2020 - 7.5 billion )? It all goes down to one thing - after both world wars humans had a rapid industrialization and evolving period in technology, with so many inventions in medicine, military, and science. Humans were able to save lives in their improved medicine and science field. Humans in the 1970s officially eradicated smallpox, a deadly virus that killed 100 million people. In the 1900s, humans have found new techniques in solving problems and fighting viruses. Humans have found and created machines that made their lives much easier.
ANY GOOD NEWS ? - I am sure you panicked in here for a sec, the human population after 2050 with 10 billion people is predicted to soon stabilize as women fertility rate drop. So don’t worry humans may not die from overpopulaiton but from a nuclear war. ( Joking )
