Anthrosphere
Man and his direct ancestors (hominids) have graced the planet for only about three million years. For almost all of this period the human population totaled less than 5 to 10 million individuals. Homo sapiens have increased their numbers exponentially from 1650 to present rising to the current population of 5.5 billion. If this growth continued unabated, the human population would reach 8 billion in the year 2000, 14 billion in the year 2010, 60 billion in the year 2020, and infinity by the year 2023.
