While modern humans are generally believed to have been around for over 100 000 years, it is
only in the past 10 000 years that total global population is believed to have ever exceeded a few
million people - roughly the population of Madrid, Spain or Nairobi, Kenya (Kremer 1993). After the
end of the Last Glacial Maximum (~10,000 BCE), population growth started to accelerate, doubling
every 600 to 1000 years between 3000 BCE and 1000 AD. By 1800, it was growing fast enough to
double in just one hundred years. Between 1959 and 2000 the Earth's population doubled in just
40 years! By one estimate, the number of new mouths to feed each year peaked in 1989 at around 87
million (roughly the equivalent of Ethiopia's current population). In 2010, the planet was still
adding 1 million people every 4.8 days (US Census Bureau 2011).
