Hang on there based on the image, 7.95 billion alive today, 109 billion have lived and died, that's like 93% death rate not 99.9%. Is there some other figure on the page you're basing the 99.9% off?

About 90-95% of humans have died at some point in their lives so yeah very likely we will follow suit at some point.

I teach maths and one of the analogies is use is watching a film of someone walking forwards and backwards. If you play the film forwards (multiplying by positive), you can see the person walking forwards and backwards as normal. If you play the film backwards (multiplying by negative) you see the opposite. So multiplying by negative reverses whatever was happening before. Hard to put into words but the visuals (hopefully) seem to explain it well enough.
