Question from an actual kid, though she was eight, not five. Hopefully there’s an explanation more detailed than just “no” I can pass on to her.

Ima be real it’s unlikely we can ever get a real estimate cause majority of the answers will just be “8 billion” “10 billion” never will we get an answer that is accurate because tbh no one documented how many people lived back then and there’s really not a very good reason to know
