Subject: Half the people alive today were born in 1985 or later
Written By: winteriscoming on 12/14/14 at 8:40 pm
Isn't that sort of depressing? :o The median age of the human population is 29.7 years ago, which is actually quite a bit higher than it's been throughout history. During the 80s it was about 23-24 years, so someone born in 1962 was already older than half the human population by 1985. That blows my mind!
