Do you know if There are not more people alive today than have ever died,

This is actually a common misconception. As we’re approaching a population of 7 billion people, many people look at the rapidly accelerating rate of population growth and assume that there are now so many people on Earth that they outnumber all of the people that have already lived and died.

Sadly, this is not true. Humankind has existed for approximately 50,000 years. In that time, over 106 billion people have been born, and most of them are dead. In fact, there’s about 100 billion people who are either pushing up daisies or are already completely decomposed. More people have died since 1750 than are alive today.
