The number of modern human beings (Homo sapiens) on Earth has been comparatively small until very recently. Just 10,000 years ago there might have been no more than a few million people on the planet. The one billion mark was not passed until the early 1800s; the two billion mark not until the 1920s. As it stands now, though, the world's population is over 7.3 billion.
World population is expected to reach 8 billion people in 2023 according to the United Nations (in 2026 according to the U.S. Census Bureau). The current world population is 7.5 billion as of March 2017 according to the most recent United Nations estimates elaborated by Worldometers. The term World Population refers to the human population (the total number of humans currently living) of the world.
