This seven minute film depicts the history of human population growth and distribution from 1 AD through the present, then projects future growth to the year 2030.
Eight frames of the video are presented here: the opening in 1 AD; then skipping ahead to 1800, when the population reached the first billion, followed by the years in which the population reached each successive billion; and the closing frame at 2030, showing the 8.2 billion people expected to inhabit the Earth by then if current growth rates continue.
