Though small I am, yet, when entire,I’ve force to set the world on fire.Take off a letter and it’s clearMy paunch will hold a herd of deer:Dismiss another, and you will findI once contained all humankind.

Damn.
I worked hard on this one. This is the answer I came up with:
Aeden – Gaelic word for fire
A den – holds a herd of deer
Eden – once contained all humankind
Spark is a better answer. But thought I’d submit this anyway after working so hard on it.
Peace.

lukes answer seems most correct to me. Noah’s ark according to most held animals and Noah’s family, no human kind on there, especially not all of it.

jables – no, during the flood all of human kind got wiped out apart from noah’s family on the ark (if you believe in fairy stories anyway!)
