Having more than 640Kb of RAM isn't a good in of itself, it's only good in that applications arose which required more RAM. Similarly higher population isn't a good in of itself. It seems to me that there's much less evidence that there's something that needs higher population. I don't see how higher population necessarily makes humanity as a collective organism more human. That seems like saying that an individual human is more human if they weigh more.
