Question

Do u know when one fourth of people on the earth have died?

Answer 1

it would have to be durring the great plague/little ice age...

even the most generous estimates only have the soldier death toll at about 80 million for WWII... which means WWI is also out becuase WWII was even worse...  

Answer 2

Between midnight and 6 am.  Also between 6 am and noon, and noon and  6 pm, and 6 pm and midnight.  In fact, any 6 hour period during the day.

.... assuming that deaths are more or less evenly distributed over the hours of a day.

You can detect this by using genetics - you have a special DNA in a small part of your cells, the mitochondria. This DNA is always from your mother and does only change very slowly over the course of many generations. By extracting this DNA and looking into it's structure and finding differences to other people, genetic scientists can find out, which ancestors you had until the beginning of the stone age.

This knowledge can also be used for calculating how many humans must have been there - and compare this number to skeletons found.

Additionally, you are often able to find mitochondrial DNA in ancient corpses, which also often leads to matrilinear lines which got extinct over time.

The last such event was the explosion of a supervolcano in Indonesia.
