is it possible to calculate how many human beings have existed up to date?

Question

an average number of course

Answer 1

I honestly don't think you mean an "average number." You want an aggregate number.

Oddly, since the human population has continued to grow, a sizeable number of the "ever lived" population are alive now. However, it seems that data from the study below indicate that in 2002, the number of people who had ever been born was approximately 106,450,000,000 (106 Billion). Currently there are between 6 and 7 Billion human inhabitants on earth.

Answer 2

Amazing as it may seem, the entire population of the world can be housed in the U.S. state of Texas,” reports Vitality magazine. According to the article, the current United Nations estimate of the world’s population is about six billion people, and Texas has a land area of some 262,000 square miles [680,000 sq km]. The amount of living space per person would therefore be more than 1,217 square feet [113 sq m]. “A family of 5 would thus occupy more than 6,085 square feet [565 sq m] of living space. Even in Texas, that’s a mansion,” says Vitality. “Meanwhile, the rest of the world would be completely empty, available for all of mankind’s agricultural, manufacturing, educational, and recreational activities!

A very liberal estimate of the number of people who have ever lived on earth is 20,000,000,000. As we have seen, not all of these will be resurrected. But, even if we assume that they would be, there would be ample room. The land surface of the earth at present is about 57,000,000 square miles (147,600,000 sq km). If half of that were set aside for other purposes, there would still be just a little less than an acre (c. 0.37 ha) per person, which can provide more than enough food.

Answer 3

UP too date? Thats not important.

What is important, is: 2/3 of the population total will NOT inherit the New Kingdom. 1/3 will be in heaven.

Put any kind of numbers you want too with this.
2/3=2/3 1/3=1/3 it doesn't get any closer.

Answer 4

You could try to take an educated guess, put together a general concensus, but don't expect it to be perfect. Peopel migrate and, let's say, you concentrated on the number of people in just one area you'll have to figure how many had children, how many children each had, and on and on and on. I'm sure there must be some mathematical formula that would be easier.

Answer 5

well, wouldnt it be like counting stars in the sky which are born and reborn?. or drops of water molecule in our vast oceans?. counting doesnt matter much, what matters is how each had been helpful in contributing something or the other to mankind as such.

Answer 6

I think doing a exponential decrease will work, but then you have to consider life spans as well. I think it maybe impossible

Answer 7

interesting question i'd like to kn ow who knows
