Human News aims to devote 1 character to each 40,000 life-years, or 1000 average lives. Thus, the number of characters on these subjects could be 580 million life-years / 40,000 life-years/character = 14,500 characters. Since previous articles on these subjects occupied 5300 characters, this article can have 9200 characters. This article has 2900 characters plus about 1000 characters for the two photos, thus there could be more articles on these topics in the future.
