People on the Land

There is over 7.5 billion people on the Earth right now. The population increases by 73 million per year and 90% of the population growth takes places in developing countries like Africa, South and East Asia, and Latin America. This isn't good because these developing countries don't have enough resources for all of these people. In countries like the USA and Canada, they are developed so we are able to have more people and even people from different countries coming in. The population is based on births, deaths, immigration, and emigration. The world's population started growing long ago when hunting and gathering was a thing. Hunting and gathering is when a small group of people (10-14) hunt for animals and uses an area's resources for a while and then moves on to the next place. After a while, people started cultivating and domesticating these plants and animals by reproducing so they have an endless amount. This created small towns and then settlements where people started to do different jobs like, making clothes, houses, weapons, and food. This process continued all the way to today where we have a bunch of businesses, towns, cities, and states. There are more births than deaths and by the time I'm forty, it is very likely there will be 10 billion people on the Earth.
