How in the world do you know what the population was in 8000 BC? Did someone take a census? Did they chisel the statistics in stone tablets that have been recovered by archaeologists? This is a totally made-up number, with zero evidence to back it up, other than someone’s speculation about how they THINK human history might have progressed.
