In all probability, there were as many humans living prior to Noah’s flood as there are on the earth today, about 7 billion people.
During this time of plenty, the earth regressed back into blatant sin:
Now the earth was corrupt in the sight of God, and the earth was filled with violence. God looked on the earth, and behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth. Gen. 6:1
There was one specific and creepy sin that God pointed out:
...that the sons of God [angels] saw that the daughters of men were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose. Gen. 6:2
The “Sons of God,” referring to angelic spirits (Job 1:6), took the form of humans (Heb. 13:2) and began mating with earthly humans and producing children. Ostensibly, the children had their human DNA compromised.
The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown. Gen. 6:4
Satan vehemently hates mankind because they are created in the image of God. So now the original DNA that God had designed in His image had been successfully corrupted/changed into something not fully human. Only Noah and his family were left uncorrupted on the earth.
These demonic sub-human children had to be destroyed. So God flooded the earth, killing everything except the eight people in Noah's immediate family and two of every kind of animals and birds.
