There aren't any sample sizes, because they aren't any samples: These are populations. Statistical significance is typically a question of whether samples are large enough to make inferences *to* a population from which the sample was selected - but there's no such question here, because there's no such jump: The data include *all* known cases, and there are definitely cross-era differences.
