It's estimated that a total of 106 billion people have been born since the creation.

Since the creation of what?

I think he means from the 'evolution' of man from early beginnings (Neanderthal man/tyre fitter).

Neanderthals died out, and so we cannot be descended from them.

But going back, how can we say how long mankind has been around, as evolution is so slow, its kind of tricky to say the human race started in such a specific period.

But assuming some date based upon the oldest found remains of homosapians, there are only a tiny fraction of people alive today compared to the number of people who have been alive.

there are only a tiny fraction of people alive today compared to the number of people who have been alive.

If you Google it, the accepted figure of people alive today, is about 6%

Since the creation of the 106 billionth ancestor of ours. It's an arbitrary figure.
