100 billion reincarnating souls

The following exert was obtained from
www.blavatsky.net


"Reincarnation and Population Growth"
David Pratt:

David Bishai suggests a maximum figure of 100 billion
souls; this is based on the estimate that about 100
billion people have
lived on earth since around 50,000 BC, which, in
Bishai's view, is when humans of the modern type first
emerged. Theosophy,
on the other hand, traces the beginnings of human
civilization back many millions of years.
Nevertheless, if we can assume that
every human soul has had at least one incarnation
since 50,000 BC, then the maximum number of human
souls can be no
more than 100 billion. 

end quote

Does this imply that the number of incarnating souls,
be they human, animal, vegetable, mineral etc, is
fixed, has always been fixed and forver will be fixed?

If so, what is the controlling universal law?
