You underestimate the effects of population growth. There was a lot of time in prehistory but the population at any given point was tiny compared to today.

i remember an old article that said DNA shows that all current humans can be traced back to 7 women during the ice age.

There were probably more around at the time, all the other bloodlines just died off.

Those people were alive and died it doesn't matter... There have been more people dead than are currently living by a lot.

We don't care how many people were alive back than compared to today. It's the total amount to how many have died...

We don’t care how many people were alive back than compared to today.

But that is exactly the ratio you claim to be 99.9% when in reality it is closer to 93%.
