Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
The current population is around 6!.7 billion!. Here's one estimate, but I'm looking for a more citable source!.

"Estimates are that between 69 billion and 110 billion people have populated the earth since about one million years ago!. "

Edit: Here's a better one!. It suggests other estimates between 50 and 110 billion!. They use a formula to calculate 80 billion!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well all 6 billion of those people will die one day so if we look back at the other 20 generations that passed, we can probably say that about 120 billion people died in history assuming that people live to at least 80 but higher death rates in the past brings the number count up so this might be valid (I think)!. This is not including BC of course!. This is hurting my head >!.<Www@QuestionHome@Com
