World Population

Watch human population grow from 1 CE to present and see projected growth in under six minutes. One dot = 1 million people.

The problem is that the people who are going to dramatically increase human population cannot even watch this video

Am I the only one who finds the heartbeat speeding up discomforting?

*Black Death plays*
Europe:
*Next age plays*
Europe: Nevermind, i'm all good.

When I see the world map covered in dots, I can't help but think about Plague Inc.

No wonder India & China had seen golden times when whole remaining world was in dark age. These lands naturally supports human life. They were the first to be civilized. May be that is also a reason why India(Hindu) and China(Buddhists) never attacked on other people and looted them; b'coz they already were the reachest.

At this time, nearly 43% of the whole human population are either Indian or Chinese....

India and China Have NEVER Had A Huge Population They're Only Increasing... :-|

Love how everyone i the comments is going crazy about population increase, while the Ethnic European population is snowballing downwards... It will be a miracle if Europe would still exist in a few years.

Take away? Asia and India know how to PARTY! lol

We exploded in the Industrial rev holy shit...

People need to realize that fertility rates are dropping gradually all over the world. 100 years ago Germany and Japan had young, rapidly growing populations, and now look at them: old and shrinking. I think 100 years from now, even much of Africa will have already started to gray. I don't think our population is going to grow much past 11 - 12 billion. We'll definitely be shrinking globally by 2150, unless there are major cultural reversals throughout the world.

Why don't we just have ONE kid as a maximum? The population won't grow up, it will stabilize by itself in a few decades...

[MMOStein]

Just pay attention to Europe between 1300 and 1400 :)

I remember seeing what I believe was an earlier version of this excellent video. It was a video tape and I showed it to all my classes! Thank you!

It might have been useful to change the legend to fit a uniform scale. Something like:
Early: Dot = 1000
Late: Dot = 10 Million

[Lzent]

After WWI and WWII, population increased from 2 billion to 4 billion




*Ironic*

[raglanheuser]

its crazy how the area of the world we evolved in turns out not to be the best place for us to live

[eragnwestn]

My teacher assigned this video, what a tremendous waste of time.
