yes but how much of that history is important? no doubt its still the majority, but i suspect that some of that 90% you mention is just some random irrelevant persons life. i should also mention that i am not a historian nor a statistics person so take what i say with a grain of salt.
90% of the bullet points are unrecorded. If we're counting every Joe Smoe, then 99.9999...% is unrecorded.
I would say considering homo sapiens have been around for ~250,000 years we need a lot of decimal places... if you want to consider prior homo species that's 2.8 million years and honestly you might as well call it 100%.
