"Right you are, but my point was that if man reached near extinction at 70,000 years ago then why the heck were the Neanderthal and modern man doing running around together 50,000 years ago ,and before that, in quite large numbers."

I get it now. I agree.

Something seems suspicious about the DNA information..... and, I've thought so for a while now.

BINGO. estimating population size with this kind of DNA data is
a reflection of hubris on the researchers part..when you only have a hammer everything looks like a nail.
no one can truly claim they know the human population of the earth
20,000 yrs ago much less 70,000 yrs ago br /> a guess backed up by mis- use of data is still a guess.
