  2nd millennium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the Gregorian calendar, the 2nd millennium commenced on 1 January 1001, and ended at the end of 31 December 2000.
From the 16th century, major population movements set in, mainly from Europe and Africa (via Atlantic slave trade) to the New World, significantly pushing forward the age of the human most recent common ancestor, beginning the ever-accelerating process of globalization.
World population doubles over the first seven centuries of the millennium, from 310 million in AD 1000 to 600 million in AD 1700, and increases tenfold over its last three centuries, rising to 6070 million in AD 2000.

 Millennium - Episode 1: Century of the Sword
As the second millennium began on the Eurasian continent, vibrant civilizations were concentrated in China, India, and the Islamic World.
The sword symbolizes the 11th century, not because the 11th was any more violent than other centuries of the millennium, but because it was riven by fundamental divisions within and between many cultures.
Yet despite violence and separation, the 11th century was marked by vibrancy, creativity, and a great deal of cultural transfer, especially in the Islamic World and in East Asia.

 2000 or 2001 What year does the third millennium really begin?
Or perhaps the first millennium was short a year due to the primitive math at the time.
That means the third millennium really begins on January 12th, 2001 at 6:00am Bethlehem time rather than on January 1st 2001 at midnight.
Therefore it makes more sense to me to say, since the beginning of the calendar is arbitrary, that the third millennium starts on January 1st 2000 and that the first millennium was a year short and the second millennium was 11 days short and now we have it right.

But that was not universally the case; African slave societies, such as the Dahomeans of West Africa, the Ashanti of Ghana, or the Azande living between the Congo and the Nile, prescribed that the offspring of slaves should be free, as part of the process of incorporation into a new lineage.
Added to this in Africa was the function of lineage expansion, one of the major purposes of slavery in the sub-Saharan region.
It is sometimes alleged that slavery and marriage were totally incompatible, for recognition of the husband–wife bond would have limited intolerably the slave owner's authority and his right to dispose of his property.
