In the original anime and manga, the global outbreak of natural disasters caused by Second Impact itself killed off about 1 billion people, with 2 billion more dying due to the post-Second Impact wars, civil strife, famines, etc. Given that the world population had reached 6 billion by 2000 in RealLife, I think it\'s safe to assert that the same estimate is true in NGE; i.e. Second Impact ultimately halved the NGE world population.

And since humankind appears to recover enough that within 15 years they actually surpassed their original pre-2nd Impact tech level, I think it\\\'s more of a \\\'\\\'Class 0.5\\\'\\\' than \\\'\\\'Class 1\\\'\\\'. Of course, it\\\'s heavily implied that the First Angel was actually aiming for a Class 3 (Human Extinction) or 4 (Biosphere Extinction).
