The Population statistics could be completely wrong from the past to present.
The amount of evidence of empires, civilizations, and city states burnt to ashes is huge and everywhere. No empire will bury the bodies of their enemies rather than burn them because that would be a huge graveyard.
This doesn't include human being eaten by cannibal tribes(yes they existed in the past and today) or animals. Also bodies washed out to sea being fed to ocean critters(flooding and tsunami). You just can't find those bodies back for evidence, neither is the population recorded compare to today.
There were strategists in the past that predicts how many soldiers before battles some would say there are 100 million soldiers. Maybe battles were really that huge in the past. This did not include civilian population or farmers that spread out away from the city. Each empire had a huge population to last a century. They would have fallen really early, if they didn't.
You know those pyramids or huge as stone structure. If not aliens, maybe lots and lots of man power. Just look at WW2 Chinese Burma road. All done by man power. Finish way faster than predicted. We had slaves, military, civilians, farmers, and unrecorded people exploring the world for adventures.

It is funny how they say we are over populated, but the true fact is we are cutting down more trees than we need unlike the past. We use to live in houses made of wood with rarely any furniture. The more furniture you have the more trees you cut down(ehm rich bastards with their mansions). Same with card board and papers. We never used them in the past. Papers were rarely used, especially for writing unlike today's schools. Write, and print hard copies. Write more on papers. Some empire in the past would write on sand as a way to preserve. Pencils also uses wood.

You simply cannot mobilise every person in the nation to fight - your assertion that the USA could field 300 million is nonsense, as is India and China doing the same.
Who's at home growing the crops?
Who's at home looking after the children?
Who's at home in the factories supplying the war effort?
Who's at home working in other sectors keeping the economy going?
Nonsense.

I'd like to see evidence of this assertion.
Note that said evidence should also indicate that "most human population" lives close enough to the coast to be inundated over a period of centuries but for whatever reason would choose not to move up out of the flooded area.

Maybe but our world population is rising exponentially at the moment. 10 billion is predicted around 2050.
