numbers

i learned today that there are more people alive today than have died in all of human history.

it's difficult to actually wrap my mind around that, given that humans originated between 100 and 200 thousand years ago. are there really enough of us alive today to trump all the people, the hunters-gatherers and the pioneers of the first civilization and the individuals of different colors, races, cultures, beliefs, etc that lived from the first human until now?
