According to the following link, the living outnumber the dead. I had always heard the exact opposite, but that's not what I found when I went looking.

There have been some who have attempted to figure out how many people have lived on the earth in all its history. The guesses I've heard range from 60 to 100 billion. With something more than 6 billion living on the planet right now, I guess the deads have it.

The earths population is now in excess of 6 billion persons. Since Adam and Eve some 10,000 years ago, more than 6 billion people have lived then died. If you believe evolution, you have even more people dead than alive.

In order to get absolute accuracy in an answer there would have to be a defined moment that "People" began walking this Earth of ours. Then you would have to know the growth of population through each generation--an aside, the Black Plague and World war one destroyed near whole generations. On the other end there are still people popping up in strange places that no one knew existed.
I would imagine that you can't find anyone who can even come close to the amount of deaths before the advent of written history.

Living. The dead ones aren't people any more. They're worm food.

The human population has swelled so much that people alive today outnumber all those who have ever lived, says a factoid whose roots stretch back to the 1970s. Some versions of this widely circulating rumor claim that 75 percent of all people ever born are currently alive. Yet, despite a quadrupling of the population in the past century, the number of people alive today is still dwarfed by the number of people who have ever lived.

I would have to say the dead. There are many people who came before us so it just makes sense.
