Perhaps I went to the wrong school (LSU), but I seem to remember in anthropology class it was mentioned that there are more people alive today than ever lived in the past.

In the foreword to his 1968 novel "2001: A Space Odyssey", the noted writer and science fiction author Arthur C. Clarke wrote that "Since the dawn of time, roughly a hundred billion human beings have walked the planet Earth".
Clarke was an extremely able and widely-educated scientist, so I would count on his estimate being out by less than 10 billion.

Mathematicians have used population growth models to estimate that there have been total of around 100 billion people.
From this we can say that since the stone age an estimated 95 billion people have died, because 6 billion are still alive :).

I don't know, though research showed me a couple of links to an outfit called "World Factbook"...(or folks they check with)
Superintendent of Documents
http://bookstore.gpo.gov
or, The National Technical Information Service
http://www.ntis.gov
Even if they seem American-looking at the monikers, I got the links from a World FactBook page. The World FactBook itself wants you to pay $ to really use it...

Billions, most definitely, throughout all the countless wars, disease outbreaks, and plain old natural causes.

"Died to date". Impossible to tell or even guess.
