Well, you are basically asking for an estimate of roughly 6500 years. If you would look for a specific period and geographical location, especially if it's a heavily researched area, you should probably be able to find percentages based on extensive research.

That being said, it's roughly 80% to 100% of the population even upto the 19th century in some of the most industrialized countries.
