Grahame Clark estimates the population of England and Wales at 250 human beings in upper Palaeolithic, 4,500 in Mesolithic, 20,000 in the Neolithic, and about 40,000 in the second millennium B.C. during the Bronze Age. No estimates are available for India, but there is no doubt that in the Harappan area the new techniques of plough cultivation and irrigated farming led to a substantial increase in population.
