How many people?

[tamirra]

Hi, cananyone please answer these two questions for me please.

1) How many people live in the world?

2) Where did the very first person come from?

the current estimated population is 6.8billion, see here
http://www.ibiblio.org/lunarbin/worldpop
and http://www.census.gov/ipc/www/popclockworld.ht ml

Be aware that this changes by the second.

It seems likely that the first people came from Africa. There's a bit here to read, and the links are interesting

1.) 6,811,134,457 and rising. That 'll be out of date by the time I've finished typing.
I recall that 40 years ago it was only 4 billion so it's growing pretty rapidly.

2) I wonder if it the first person was a man or woman?

[tamirra]

Well its got to be a woman now hasn`t it lol. x

Of course it's a Woman. That's why men have nipples,they evolved from women.
