All of China is in one time zone. The sun rises late into the morning in the west of the country (about 10.am) and would also set very late into the night.

1). That's probably not true.

It's hard to come up with any kind of definite figure, and it depends how far back you count humans being around. But most estimates have the number of dead as being 60-120 Billion - significantly more than the current number alive today.

It's plausible if this is accurate.

That only shows people alive at any one time.

Since it doesn't have any information on life expectancy/birth rates/mortality rates etc. over time, it's of almost no use in working out how many dead people there are.

That there was a plastic seal on Tomato Sauce that you had to take off when you unscrew the top. I only find out about it the other week after years of trying to squeeze a fork through the tiny hole to pierce the plastic!
