Honest estimates - when will the human race die out? In what year will the population be under 10% of todays?

fewer people have died in the entire history of civilization than are living today.

Yup. The latest will be 5 billion years from now, give or take a few hundred thousand. By then the sun will either:\n\n1) engulf our planet (very unlikely, but will come close enough to vaporize our planet)\n2) Die and not engulf or vaporize our planet and within days our atmosphere will freeze and fall to the earth in the form of ice.

We have no idea- The definition of "optimum" would be optimum for who?  For the rest of life, excluding chickens, pigs, and dogs, a human population of zero would be fine.  If we had 10 billion, then 10 billion and one would be great for that last one born.  If you are asking what is the maximum *sustainable* population, that unfortunately can only be answered when you pass it and discover that you are now past the max.  H G Wells estimated that when we got over 2 billion, there would be mass starvation.  Other later said for sure anything past 5 billion would cause mass starvation.  We are now near 7 billion and have a huge overall food surplus (of course, thats just food, not addressing energy, clean water, etc).  We may be able to sacrifice wetlands, tropical forests, etc, and get even more food, though its doubtful if the ecosystem could handle it for long.

Let me give you the most exact figure and accurate figure of world population at the time I'm answering the question (As on 26th December, 2006 at 6:00 GMT):\n\n6579803290\n6579803293 (1 Second Later\n6579803296 (2 Second Later) \n6579803299 (3 Second Later)\n6579803302 (4 Second Later)\n...\nand counting\nYou can see the time answered the question\n\nThe following clock shows the accurate population at current time : http://www.ibiblio.org/lunarbin/worldpop

i doubt it... the human race will also be evolving, which means that even though there might be a large current race, there will be several mutations from the norm

If this trend of aliens is not decreased, the population will reach 400 million by 2050. How many people can America hold? \n\nand how will we feed them is a valid question who ever you directed this question to,  i would love to hear their answer instead of just your a racist

last time i heard the statistics About 80 million, or 15% of the population. could be more by now.

The earth is being destroyed by mankind. It won't be overpopulated but drained out by human mischieves. Our duty is to preserve peace and harmony. What a pity...the beautiful earth is a war-ridden ball.

Hypothetically speaking, I'm not entirely sure the world will exist in 10 years the way current world affiars are going what with the nuclear tension in Iran and North Korea...But I predect the economy will be better if we're still around.

I don't think it is going to happen for thousands of years.\n\nThere will be millions killed when all the wacko countries get the nuclear bombs and civilization will be set back thousands of years.\n\nThis is just my theory but I think there will be small areas of the world that will survive and thus the human race will not be completely wiped out.\n\nThere may be other natural disasters as a result of the changing environment.\n\nThe future does not look to good and it is scary to see some of these goofball countries with the bombs.\n\nI just hope and pray that the good countries can stay ahead of the bad ones and keep stopping them before they kill us all and that is exactly what they want to do IMO.

YA is all it takes... it will probably cause the near extinction of the human race befor God calls a halt to it.

The world population is the total number of humans alive on the planet Earth at a given time. According to estimates published by the United States Census Bureau, the world population in June 2005 was ~6,450,000,000<ref>On January 3, 2006, the population counter read: "World 6,489,102,362 : 13:39 GMT (EST+5) Jan 03, 2006" United States Census Bureau</ref>. In line with population projections, this figure continues to grow at rates that are unprecedented prior to the 20th century. Approximately one fifth of all humans that have existed in the last six thousand years are currently alive. By some estimates, there are now one billion (thousand million) young people in the world between the ages of 15 and 24.

I hope that in 5 billion years. We have somewhat evolved beyond this planet. Besides we won't have enough land or fossil fuels to last the next five hundred. I can hardly imagine five billion years from now.

Not yet.  We will be once our demands outstrip our resources.  Then it will be like the Dark Ages in Europe when many will die from pestilence and war.  After that, there will be more resources available per person than there has been in a long time.  There will be what can only be considered a new Renaissance.

Projections have the world population hitting six billion sometime around the middle of next year. Beyond that, it's hard to give you an exact answer. We can tell you that there are approximately 25 more people in the world than there were when you started reading this paragraph. That's because current research indicates that about five people are born every second, while two people pass away, leaving us with a population rate of three new humans per second.\n\nhere I found this site also... this is better and this can show your 8 year old alot more!  Have fun!\n\nhttp://www.census.gov/population/www/popclockus.html

nothing.  If it's non-living,.......never mind.  People are morons.  The human race is doomed.
