"A report issued by the Bureau in March 2004 noted that world population hit the 6 billion mark in June 1999. "This figure is over 3.5 times the size of the Earth's population at the beginning of the 20th century and roughly double its size in 1960," the study explained.

All this has happened again and again countless times." http://tinyurl.com/6xndt , p.397 ------------------------ Yahoo!
