    About 90-95% of humans have died at some point in their lives so yeah very likely we will follow suit at some point.

        You underestimate the effects of population growth. There was a lot of time in prehistory but the population at any given point was tiny compared to today.

          i remember an old article that said DNA shows that all current humans can be traced back to 7 women during the ice age.

          Those people were alive and died it doesn’t matter… There have been more people dead than are currently living by a lot.

          We don’t care how many people were alive back than compared to today. It’s the total amount to how many have died…

            We don’t care how many people were alive back than compared to today.

            But that is exactly the ratio you claim to be 99.9% when in reality it is closer to 93%.

        Hang on there based on the image, 7.95 billion alive today, 109 billion have lived and died, that’s like 93% death rate not 99.9%. Is there some other figure on the page you’re basing the 99.9% off?
