No. There are around 6.5 billion people living right now but the total amount of humans who ever lived is around 100 billion Answered by Voice of Insanity - Fri Jun 20 02:03:18 2008 How large could a population grow from 120,000 over 400 years if it had three planets to grow on? Q. Say there is a population of humans who have found three earth-like planets to live on. Over four hundred years, how big would the population get if it had that much room to expand?

If you take what happened from 1492 to the present and find out the current population of the US it could give you a rough template to work on. But remember that their may be other factors in your futuristic tale that might impact on your eventual population. And I suppose you have to ask yourself the question of whether or not you should go into such detail at the outset. I did not mention a number but did state that many billions had made their home there. So there are ways of working around using an exact figure unless of course it has a significant bearing on the story. Hope this helps a bit. Good luck.
