I don't know but history is weird. Any record is full of anomalies. The evidence suggests some of our ancestors had huge populations, cities in the 10s of millions. Mayan. Chinese. Possibly others Eastern. Where Rome didn't patent. While Europeans were considerably smaller at the same assumed historic points.
How many groups wiped out, entire populations put to the sword. Multi millions dead throughout our known history of war famine disaster and disease.
But okay the entire Neanderthal narrative. They coexisted briefly with humans. It was thought we killed them off. Changed now on finds of coexistence, until, what, the ice-age?
As far as killing off entire demographics goes all of a 150 years ago America. Its colonisation. Tribes wiped out.
But was far worse then. Like in the bible. In the Koran. In the Torah.
Entire populations killed. Julius Caesar put an entire city to death. He surround it. Seiged starving them out. They sent their kids and younger women. He impaled them, then chopped up, and catapulted them back into the city. They surrendered he killed them off. Took the king captive walked him naked like a dog as a trophy, before sending him off to death in the mines or galleys. But okay the seige of Bhagdad by the Mongols multimillions killed the same. Philistines. Troy. Etc etc.
Entire populations killed by conflict. What happened in Meso America was much of the same inquisition. As the Spanish inquistion.
Afterwards more of the same until recent human history after WW2.
Numbers who knows. They simply aren't accurate at all. Concentric narratives full of anomalies. Look at Gunung Padang. The size of it suggests an enormous population. Or perhaps the mythical giants. There are other places of big industrial scale agriculture dating back supporting huge populations. It is believed even in the UK evidence of larger agriculture goes back 10k years in its Southern Coast. But then they gives us the bullshit Cheeseman, a cavern troglodyte Neanderthal from 7k years ago. Perhaps he dug the tunnels all over Europe. https://www.ancient-origins.net/news-history-archaeology/extensive-ancient-underground-networks-discovered-throughout-europe-00540 Scotland to Turkey. Not quite. But quite. What went wrong? The Neanderthal did.
The thing about our past was we culled ourselves. Top of the food chain. A lot of the means and rituals keeping populations under control have changed, into you tell me. It hasn't changed. It descends into the same if it goes there.
