Homo sapiens sapiens has spread across the globe and increased vastly in numbers over the past 50,000 years or so—from an estimated five million in 9000 B.C. to roughly 6.5 billion today.

Mr Blocher, whose Swiss Peoples’ Party (SVP) had their strongest-ever showing in national elections earlier this year, had been serving as Justice Minister but after manoeuvring by the three other parties in the consensus government, found himself booted out of the new cabinet.
