>Going from 11 billion to 110 million overnight as a lot different than that anon.
Well it is open to discussion how many humans you think survived the events of ME3. I would put 50 to 100 million at the lowest reasonable estimate, but that's probably too harsh. I think 300 to 500 million is reasonable, but I could go as high as 2.5 billion. It all comes down to two things: how many humans lived off Earth prior to ME3 and how many humans survived on Earth during in the immediate aftermath of the war. It depends on how badly damaged Earth was in the war (EMS is irrelevant, let's assume good EMS, that still could mean billions dead).

How much of Earth's population was wiped out?
Highest estimate would be something like 90% so say 10 to 11 billion. It could be less, like say only half or three quarters or as low as 1 quarter. If some 8 billion humans survived the war then I think humanity would retain a dominant position in galactic politics, but I think that many humans surviving is unlikely (but not impossible).

For a species to be endangered it needs its population to be low enough that reproduction is difficult due to being spread out and/or a lack of genetic diversity. It also needs or may have lost most of its natural habitat or habitat it can survive in. I don't think humanity is at risk of this even in the worst case scenario. If there there are only 50 million humans or less than that, let's say there were only 18 million humans (like the quarians), I would say humanity still way better off than the quarians. Humanity is more adaptable even in that case.

>And you're also completely wrong because you have yet to provide a single fucking source for your data other than suppositions.
I linked you to Eingana and gave you the population numbers for several human colonies. You are lying outright here. Eingana presents exactly the scenario I am talking about here. I am also of-course extrapolating from reality and history.
