Well the Creationist would say that 4400 yrs ago after the flood occured the earths population was 8, that be Noah and the rest of his crew. They say that 4400 yrs is more then enough to bring the population to where it is today.
Do you realise that the assumptions made in order to justify that particular assertion contradict not only recorded history but even the numbers given in the Bible itself?
Now if that be the case, what would the population be like if we had 200,000 yrs to populate the earth?
Modern man
has been on the Earth for 200,000 years and the population is what it is now, so I'm not sure how to understand your question. Do you want a discussion of our estimates of population through time? The causes behind its variation? What?
