Trends in total fertility 1950–2010. The high number of people aged 60 and older in Europe is the result of high fertility rates which occurred 1950–1960. [10] The period after the end of World War II was characterised by good social and economic status of the population in the child-bearing age and resulted in a "baby boom".

In 2024 the population peaked, there are 48,797,875 [3] people living in Spain. Its population density, at 96 inhabitants per square kilometre (250/sq mi), is lower than other Western European countries, yet, with the exception of microstates, it has the highest real density population in Europe, based on density of inhabited areas.

The history of Europe is traditionally divided into four time periods: prehistoric Europe (prior to about 800 BC), classical antiquity (800 BC to AD 500), the Middle Ages (AD 500–1500), and the modern era (since AD 1500). The first early European modern humans appear in the fossil record about 48,000 years ago, during the Paleolithic era.
