When I was much younger I was talking to someone about ghosts if they were real and he pointed out what you were saying. If ghosts were real there should be places that are swarming with them given the sheer number of people clustered in some of these ancient cities for so long.

Definitely, the number of people have died thoughout history drastically outweight the number of living people today. If ghosts exists, Earth would be very crowded indeed (not to mention all those animals and ... dinosaurs).

Yepp, 117 billion estimated total humans born ever and about 8 billion alive today.

That's still like 6% of people ever are alive right now which is pretty amazing.

In a sense, life is only known to be 94% fatal.
