Where are all the people? - creation.com
there were 300 million people in the world at the time of Christ’s Resurrection,2 this requires a population growth rate of only 0.75% since the Flood, or a doubling time of 92 years—much less than the documented population growth rate in the years following the Flood.
A remarkable coincidence?
The Jews are descendants of Jacob (also called Israel). The number of Jews in the world in 1930, before the Nazi Holocaust, was estimated at 18 million. This represents a doubling in population, on average, every 156 years, or 0.44% growth per year since Jacob. Since the Flood, after which the world population was eight, the world population has doubled every 155 years, or grown at an average of 0.45% per year. There is agreement between the growth rates for the two populations. Is this just a lucky coincidence?
They had to evolve via accidenct and blind chance at the same rate. Your hand wave dismissal does not change the fact.
Why aren't there two groups? What about the problems associated with chromosomal fusion? Again cherry picked responses ginned up after the fact. You are saying all the human population are from two people? The supposed fusion event took place after the human split. Prior to the split humans had the same amount as the nonhuman line of apes. It is a just so story. It is the humans that are different since the apes all have the same amount.
Apologetics Press - Of Apes and Men: Chromosome 2 in Humans and the Chimpanzee
There are problems with this explanation. First, this hypothesis openly assumes that the chromosomal fusion took place after humans supposedly split from the apes in the proposed evolutionary tree. Allegedly at some point in the past, a human ancestor’s DNA underwent a genetic fusion between two of its chromosomes. This event occurred in no other species. Does this provide evidence that humans share a common ancestor with apes? No. This line of thinking provides no empirical evidence that humans and apes share a common ancestor. All that it really does is suggest that a past human may have undergone this genetic change. In order for this fusion event to demonstrate common ancestry with the chimpanzee, there would have to be some link between the fusion event and the great apes. But no such link exists. The fused-looking chromosome is specific to humans, so it does not directly connect with the great apes. Therefore, it cannot be empirical evidence for a common link between
Homo sapiens and the great apes. The only genetic “link” (which is no link at all) between humans and the apes is our close DNA sequence similarity. But this similarity is completely expected given the similar body structure, physiology, and biochemistry that we share with our primate friends.

They compare DNA with DNA and in your case you don't have the DNA of the imaginary creature because it did not exist. It is all theoretical, not conclusive. So don't go trying to pass your theoretical as conclusive.
My start was the past 400 years of population data and you are cherry picking the data which was there to make a point which was ignored. If your appeal is to math then do the math for your model of 10 K humans 200 K years ago. How does current population trends align with the overall growth for the last 400 years? It doesn't.
The population doubles exponentially four times from a half bill to one to two to four to eight bil in approx 2020. That is a doubling of 105 years overall. .66%? By the rule of 70. Lets drop it down to .1% for you model and do the math which you failed to do. The 10 K population would double every 700 years. From 10 to 20 to 40 to 80 to 160 and on. So how long would it take to reach 8 Bil at thoses rates? Not long.
