A number of issues with this.
Firstly, the statistics for this article only go back to 1945. Even if we accept everything here as fact, that makes this the most peaceful era in the last 70 years, not human history as a whole.
Secondly, these lines are largely decreasing because consider the atrocities/wars of the past 100 years. Stalin killing over 60 million people. The Holocaust. Two World Wars. The Rawandan Genocide. Brutal Latin American dictators consistently rising and falling from power. Some of the most infamous genocides in human history took place in the 1900s. Of course the 2000s are going to look good by comparison. That doesn't mean they're particularly peaceful times, or an indication of anything except that at least we're not quite as bad as we were when millions of Jews and Russians were being massacred.
