Introduction
• In 1650, only 500 million people inhabited Earth.
• Today there are over 5.5 billion people living on Earth.
• The number of people increases by 80 million every year
• Scientists predict 8 billion people by 2017 and perhaps 12 billion by 2100.

Increase in Growth Rate
• Scientists estimate that the first modern humans evolved on Earth about one-half million years ago.
• About 20,000 years ago, some people established permanent settlements.
• What is AGRICULTURAL REVOLUTION?– When hunters and gathers begin to develop farming
techniques, and learn to masticate animals.

Flashcard13.1
Agricultural Revolution
occurred about 8000 BCwhen hunter-gatherers
began to developfarming techniques
and learned todomesticate animals
13.1
The agricultural revolution led to
an increase in the food in excess of the population
leading to anincrease in the
population

Agriculture
• A second period of major population growth occurred around 8000B.C.
• Farming provided an increased food supply, which led to an increase in size of the human population
• The human population grew to nearly 5 million, food availability accounted for much of the growth

Industry
• The third major period of population growth has occurred during the past 300 years
• Technological advancements have improved food production and distribution
• Reduced the length of the work day and provided people with safer work environments

Health Care
• The germ theory of the disease occurred at about the same time as the industrial revolution
• What is the GERM THEORY? Disease identified in bacteria and other microorganisms as the agents responsible for many diseases
• The biomedical revolution of the 20th century has resulted in an increase in population growth

Declines in Growth Rate
• The decline in population growth started in the mid 14th century
• The decline resulted in the Black Death which struck some of Europe and Asia
• So devastating was the Black Death that within several years it claimed 25 percent of the population of Central Europe and Asia
