1-1. Genetically modern humans appeared on Earth about 200,000 years ago and
biologically and behaviorally modern humans appeared about 70,000 years ago.
The number of people and their effects upon the planet were negligible, or as
Douglas Adams says, “as near nothing as makes no odds,” for most of the history
of the planet. When did the planets population reach 1 billion people? Assuming
that the population has grown exponentially since that time, what was the time
interval required to increase by 1 billion people – for up to 7 billion people, the
approximate global population in 2012?

Answer:

From page 1-3 the planet reached 1 Billion people in approximately 1800.

October 31, 2011 was declared by the United Nations, as the day the world
population reached 7 billion.

Answer:

Life Expectancy (LE) at birth using the 2011 Life Expectancy Index:

Life Expectancy Index (LEI) = (LE-20)/(83.2-20)
(1.1)

The Education Index (EI) based upon the Mean Years of Schooling Index (MYSI) and
Expected Years of Schooling Index (EYSI), where:

MYSI = Mean Years of Schooling/13.2
(1.2)

EYSI = Expected Years of Schooling/20.6
(1.3)

EI = {(MYSI x EYSI)0.5}/0.951
(1.4)

And the Income Index (II) which is based upon the Gross National Income (GNIpc) at
purchasing power parity per capita, which is an estimate and standardization of
each individuals’ income in a country:

II = {ln(GNIpc)-ln(100)}/{ln(107,721)-ln(100)}
(1.5)

The Human Development Index is determined from the geometric mean of the Life
Expectancy, Education and the Income Index:

HDI = (LEI x EI x II)1/3
(1.6)

Australia 0.979 0.874 0.909 0.937 0.837 0.916
China 0.847 0.563 0.568 0.595 0.618 0.678
Ireland 0.959 0.874 0.879 0.921 0.814 0.896
Kenya 0.587 0.534 0.530 0.560 0.387 0.503
