<P> Estimates of the `` total number of people who have ever lived '' is 107.6 billion as of 2011 . The answer naturally depends on the definition of `` people '' , i.e. is only Homo sapiens to be counted , or all of genus Homo , but due to the small population sizes in the Lower Paleolithic , the order of magnitude of the estimate is not affected by the choice of cut - off date substantially more than by the uncertainty of estimates throughout the Neolithic to Iron Age . The estimate is more crucially affected by the estimate of infant mortalitys vs. stillborn infants , due to the very high infant mortality throughout the pre-modern period . An estimate on the `` total number of people who have ever lived '' as of 1995 was calculated by Haub ( 1995 ) at `` about 105 billion births since the dawn of the human race '' with a cut - off date at 50,000 BC ( beginning of the Upper Paleolithic ) , and an inclusion of a high infant mortality rate throughout pre-modern history . </P>
