More interesting, imo - China and India host over a third of the world population. Each host more than the next five combined.

    Also interesting to me that India surpassed China's population. I know that their growth rate was significantly higher, but I thought they were still a ways off from surpassing them. With the birth rates a lot higher in India than China, I wonder how much larger their population will grow and what it will mean for global culture and communications.

    Wow, I had no idea that Indonesia has almost 300,000,000 people. That’s pretty interesting!

    TiL that 198 (out of 205) countries make up less than half of the world's human population

  • It’s funny that three to seven on the list don’t add up to number two, China.

    I'm surprised the USA population is still growing.

    Looking at that map....

    Tiny little Bangladesh having half the population of the US in that little space in mind blowing. I don't quite understand how that happens.
