  1. 1 million years?


  2. It looks that there is one birth more than the death rate, so approximately 1.5 million years.

  3. If a population got that low, you're looking at extinction. The number of females is just too low. Humans carry too many genetic defects, and breed too slowly to compensate for a high rate of inbreeding defects.
