This is not nearly as interesting as I hoped. Allow me to sum it up for you:

"History" is defined as "person-years lived." Therefore, the more people there are alive (and the longer they live), the more history is being made. There are currently more people alive than ever before at a given time. Therefore, we are currently making the most history.

Mind-blowing, right?
