Sources are the PBR article „How Many People Have Ever Lived on Earth?“ and the United Nations report „World Fertility 2024.“ The graphic was made mostly in Photopea, and line graphs were made in Excel.
Here’s a link to a HD version if your interested ([https://imgur.com/a/K5RcKuy](https://imgur.com/a/K5RcKuy))
Almost every person that’s ever lived is dead so in a sense it’s more natural to be dead than alive. I just hope there’s a benevolent afterlife to make up for the fact that very few people have had truly good lives.
so, 7.8 percent of all people ever born are alive today? A pretty interesting funfact IMHO
How are we defining people, going back to 190000BC
The time scale on the first graph needs to be linear to be more intuitive
Y axis should be logarithmic
I would replace one of the graphs on the right side with a logarithmic scale or even double logarithmic scale.
i think this representation is really cool, and I don’t think anything is wrong with the timescale, but it does make it hard to appreciate how spread out over time the other sections really are
Remember 23% of those who could have lived were aborted — you’re seeing the surviving 77%
