We win the biomass derby! There are about 8 billion humans, in global terms virtual clones of one another, currently living here. According to scientists, there is no evidence that there have ever been that many of any one species bigger than an ant alive at the same time. Just for comparison, they (smart people) estimate that the T. rex population probably averaged around 20,000 at a time for about a million and a half years for a total of 2.5 billion ever. To be fair, the T. rex had those tiny arms, so sophisticated tool-making would have been problematic.

….and push-ups. T. Rex hates push-ups.
Probably at least that many mosquitoes.
1) Yes. Yes he does. 2) However, there are many many species of mosquito whereas humans are a single species and also they are tiny and you could say there are more SAR11 cells [an estimated 2.4 × 10 to the 28th (24 octillion)] and further I specified larger than ants. Still, I enjoy receiving comments and hope this response has not discouraged you.
