Estimates of "the total number of people who have ever lived" published in the 2000s range approximately from 100 to 115 billion.
An estimate of the total number of people who have ever lived was prepared by Carl Haub of the Population Reference Bureau in 1995 and subsequently updated in 2002; the updated figure was approximately 106 billion. Haub characterized this figure as an estimate that required "selecting population sizes for different points from antiquity to the present and applying assumed birth rates to each period". Given an estimated global population of 6.2 billion in 2002, it could be inferred that about 6% of all people who had ever existed were alive in 2002.
In the 1970s it was a popular belief that 75% of all the people who had ever lived were alive in the 1970s, which would have put the total number of people who ever lived as of the 1970s as less than the number of people alive today. This view was eventually debunked.
The number is difficult to estimate for the following reasons:

Creationist AnswerThe above answer is from an Evolutionary perspective. In contrast, the creationistHenry M. Morris calculated that :-
.... 'The total number of men and women who have ever lived since God created Adam, therefore, is probably on the order of, say, 20 billion people....
We conclude, therefore, that the Biblical chronologies are all eminently reasonable in the light of population statistics, and that any significant departures from these chronologies, as required to meet evolutionary speculations, are highly unreasonable and improbable....
It may be claimed that none of these calculations really prove anything, since no one really has any way of knowing exactly what birth and death rates and what population figures existed in prehistoric times. This is quite true, of course, but the known facts of population growth do fit the Biblical chronology very well and they do not fit the assumed evolutionary chronology at all.

Many things happen in the world in one minute. People meet, people die, babies are born, people go hungry, and so on.
As of 2021, it is estimated that there are around 35,000 people in the world with the first name Reagan. This number might fluctuate over time as new individuals are born and named Reagan.
It is estimated that about 70-85 million people died during World War II, including civilians and military personnel. This makes it one of the deadliest conflicts in human history.
Roughly, about 7 billion people. If you wanna be specific, it's about 6,991,514,234 according to this site: http://www.worldometers.info/
There are no complete statistics for names. Many countries do not register births or names.
Alot of people use your history books!

No, history is not the same as culture. Culture is the way of people all around the world in many different places, while history is just a recording of events that happened to people.
Many millions of people. About 1/365 of the world's population.
??????? people are always being born and dying there 7645 257 789 people in the world
That question is impossible to answer. It would total billions over history.

that is like asking.... how many people are in the world? People are born every minute around the world. So the number of people called Megan will always change. I am a Megan myself.
there really isnt anyone who contributed the most to the world in history.... however there are many people who changed it.... ghandi martin luther king junior many people like that... if you really need someone who did the biggest thing for the world then just ask me and i could probably find you something :)
Every year around 7,000,000 are born every day, meaning around 7,000,000 people were born on 1.1. Currently, about 20,000,000 people have 1.1 were born on 1.1. Throughout history, about 290,000,000 people were born on 1.1
