facts of life on earth

  

Writing began history 5500 years ago
 
People appeared 200 thousand years ago
 
Humans nearly disappeared 70,000 years ago

There were 3 million people at the time of Jesus

Now there are 7 Billion people

If the sun gave out
a billion dollars
worth of sunlight
the earth gets seven dollars  
 
The sun could light up
a hundred million earths
with all that spare light

That would be seventy people per planet
if we all split up

The Sun is halfway done
We have 4 billion years left before it
expands to a red giant and torches Earth
 
 
Flowers have been around for 130 million years.
Flowers have sex with each other via bees
Bees are in it for the honey  

We give flowers to each other and have sex
