The graph at the beginning claims to be world population, but it clearly is not counting the Americas, which may have had 100M people before the conquest - and the 16th century plagues it brought which wiped out 90% of the people. The 1500 value should be a peak on the graph followed by a middle trough between the euarasian plagues.
