Any Human Ever lets you randomly live one life from 100 billion people in history
thesaraharminta · x · 2026-09-04
The site anyhumanever.com randomly draws one life from all 100 billion humans who ever lived: it steps you through a random birth year, location, and life drawn from real historical data, then narrates that person's story with full sources.
Because population grew exponentially, a random birth lands near the present far more often (log/linear scale options); locations follow historical population density. Tryer JesseLivermore's takeaway after a few runs: thank goodness there's no reincarnation. A neat interactive project blending statistics intuition with historical empathy.
