How many humans have ever lived? And how do we calculate that?

  The internet tells me 107B. https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-16870579 https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-16870579

  One challenging aspect of the calculation would be defining "human".

    Hard to define, but not important for this stat, because the ancient global population of proto-humans was so small that it's not even a rounding error in 107BN (the estimated total humans to ever have lived)
