We have reached 7 billion people, which the majority come from Asia. Now it has switched though and the most rapid population increase is in Africa. Although there is a rapid birthrate in Africa, many people are dying there too which keeps it in check mostly. This also covers that the human population has grown by about 7 times in the past 200 years, from 1 billion to 7 billion which is astounding. The U.N believes that the population will level out at about 10 billion, it is just a matter of if we can sustain that amount.
