I've since read that in the last 100,000 years, there have been 120 billion humans, but now scientists are saying, since Neanderthals are more than 99% identical to us, DNA-wise, they're not sure whether or not to include them...(They died out 25,000 years ago).

since anthropological and genetic researchers have placed the "adam" and the "eve" at 250,000-270,000 years ago i believe the number would be much higher, however, i have no definitive answer.

The US barely knows how many people live within its borders today, let alone in the world over the last fourty thousand years or so.
The number of homo beings who ever lived is estimated to be from 60 to 120 billion

We know how many gallons of oil we have used up, working backwards, total compression weight and density of all fossil weight deducting non-humans to give crude oil in gallons and rate of compression of hard rocks deducting also non-humans.
Now, if only we knew what the average weight of homo sapiens are like across the world and all other matter that can turn to fossil fuels.
