How do we understand the count of 400,000 human species when the human population is much greater?

From: stephen

Vedas say that there are 8,400,000 species of life and out of them some 400000 are humans but when we see in this planet even number of humans is far far greater then this number and no two humans are same in everything.so how do you explain this.
