95-98%.
I think you may be confusing dark energy with dark matter. Yes, they estimate that 99.5% of all the energy and matter in the universe is made up of dark energy and dark matter. However, astronomers believe that approximately 66% is dark energy, while 33% is dark matter, with 'normal' matter only being 0.5% of the total mass/energy total of the universe. In other words, we as people are pretty rare in the grand scheme of things.
