Maybe.
Anatomically modern humans have existed for some 200,000 years. That would be 198,000 years before Jesus and 2,000 years after. That's a 99 to 1 ratio. The population was a lot smaller back then, so maybe the greater populations since 1 CE to now could overcome a 99 to 1 ratio so that it is reversed to 49 to 1 in the other direction. But where's the calcuation?
