:What you've not taken into consideration is the fact that the Bestiarum list Earth's population as being limited to only 200mil. Let me stress that again in a diagram:


*Bestiarum lists Earth's population as 200mil
*Bestiarum lists Earth's population as 200mil during the Battle of Earth.
* Encyclopaedia doesn't list Earth's population but merely mention it as being overcrowding.
*Encyclopaedia doesn't list Earth's population but merely mention it as being overcrowding in the 22nd century. The UN resolved this issue by colonising other planets in Sol System, which later expanded to Inner and Outer colonies. Nothing is mentioned afterwards.
*Evolutions had Cortana mentioning the total population as 23bil, near the end of the HCW.
*Halsey's Journal had the total population at an estimated 39bil before the HCW.

* From this, we could infer that Earth's population indeed has reduced to 200mil during the Battle of Earth.
* From this, we could infer that Earth's population indeed has reduced to 200mil during the Battle of Earth, as per Bestiarum.
* We could infer that the Encyclopaedia is merely addressing the fact that Earth was overcrowded, but doesn't specifically said the cause of the overcrowding is because of its population.
* Human population was at 39bil before the HCW, but reduced to approx. 16bil near the end of the HCW, as per Evolutions and Halsey's Journal
* The Encyclopaedia didn't mention anything about the total population after the HCW. It only covers the population in 22nd century.

* A conclusion could be constructed; Earth was overcrowded by humans, but the planet's actual population is only 200mil. Thus, the billions as mentioned in Encyclopaedia could refer to the other colony worlds.
* A conclusion could be constructed; Earth was once overcrowded by humans back in 22nd century, but that was sorted by colonising other colony worlds. The total population of humanity is between 16bil to 20bil. The Battle of Earth caused the Earth's actual population to 200mil. The Encyclopaedia didn't mention anything about the human population after the HCW. It remains unknown of the actual total human population.
