8 Billionth Baby Born

In 18-oh-4, after thousands of years, the world population reached 1,000,000,000 people. It took another 126 years, to reach 2,000,000,000. Less than 100 years later, as of November 15th, the world’s population hit 8,000,000,000, only 11 years after reaching the 7,000,000,000 mark. Luckily, experts say growth is slowing down, so Earth won’t get full.
