Baby Seven Billion, Welcome.
A few seconds after midnight a baby emerged from the womb of her mother, drew her first breath, and announced her arrival into the world with a tiny cry. This is Baby Seven Billion. Today, 31 October 2011, is her birthday.

In fact, not even the demographers at the UNFPA’s sister agency, the U.N. Population Division, believe it.
