Asia, the middle east, europe: holy shit what the fuck is that thing. Why are people turning black and decomposing while still alive.. must be gods wrath for human sins, witches and demons that unleashed this pestilence upon us.
Noah Monnig you never lived under communism neither have i but based on my parents talkings they had a better life at communist yugoslavia. The system doesn’t matter as long as the leaders are honest and not criminals as todays so called politicians
GameAddict51 Literacy rate in India is 74%. The poor living in rural India and Muslims are contributing to the increasing population. Birthrate in Bombay n Delhi are 1.62 avg which is less than London, where it is 1.72.
ToddE GameZ That's the point. To show us that more humans meant more dangerous which makes you feel discomfort. You can see it corresponds with the dots. The more the faster
Donut Well that is an unproven assumption that likely is false. More humans should not mean more dangerous. Scare-tactic anti-life propaganda. Also, had the map been calibrated correctly to tell the truth, it would show that the world is still mostly empty of people. It is a type of graph, technically-speaking, and even a basic line graph, no matter how low the numbers, will nearly reach the top of the space or the paper, because graphs are usually calibrated to show the most information reasonably possible. A line graph of world population size over time, calibrated with the top of the graph, being the world filled up to "no elbow room" levels, would show a boring flat line that does nothing, all the way across. Even the early cities of Adam and Eve's time, a world population of just a few 1000s of people, might look something like a "modern day population explosion", by the normal means of calibrating graphs. But to read it in that manner, would be extremely misleading, as the world was mostly empty of people. In a world that could hold trillions of people if ever it had to, 7.4 billion people is less than 1% of capacity, and so the graph might only have a tiny few specks of white on it. Even on overexposed photos of the globe at night, the world is mostly dark. Areas of white lit up by cities, are not very much. Even a "solid white" world, would not be anywhere close to being full of people.
+ToddE GameZ listen mang, this fool believe the earth is 6000> years old! believes global warming doesnt exist, believe religion will solve every problem, believes overpopulation is a complete myth, and hes a trump supporter possibly from the south
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.
Darshil Kapadia golden age also only monk is Buddhists.tang dynasty State religion is Taoism.and tang neighboor is persia,so is not never attacked other people.
+M. Cloak The great leap forward and the cultural revolution was the most recent massive population decreases in china, and there has been other massacres and wars there throughout history
You should have told that to European settlers...they breeded so much that they colonised USA,New Zealand,Canada,South America,Australia.....man....just stop plz
+Andy Wilderness I was talking about places where the colonizers form majority after decimating the natives & obviously Africa isnt one where colonizers were majority
+Andy Wilderness U think decimating natives & then forming total majority in large swaths of friggin CONTINENTS like North & South AMERICA & AUSTRALIA is cherrypickin.......lol...i hope u reconsider ur opinion....
+Jo K That's not the case. It's quite serious problem in Japan these days. Work/studying is basically what they mostly do all the time and there's too little left for family/relationships.
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.
+Kolynk Europe would still exist . And I have no hard feelings for Europeans but they are reaping what they have sown . Had Brits, Spaniards, French and Portuguese stayed put and did not go after plundering world wealth, they would not be facing the current problem .

+Exde Actually, no, that's not how it works. The Black Death in Europe is just like what happened in the Americas when the white people brought their diseases in. It looks like a dark time when in fact, there would have been no plague without a sudden and highly profitable transcontinental communications (i.e. mix of previously isolated populations).
Im sorry but we need another! In India, Middle east! At least China is fightin against Overpopulation but India and middles east not, and there are no good place for live
+95TurboSol Nope , It shows the stability . India has been prosperous since time immemorial . We were advanced in agricultural techniques and never had War or a major epidemic . A condition required for stability . Hence a huge population .
lol your comment was 4 years ago. now in 2020, we re even more screwed. I am so anxious for our poor planet... its gonna be a death sentence for earth when in 10 years irreversible changes will happen
Planet will thrive when at least 6 Billion die. Ashes to Ashes. If not this Covid-19 then one of the stronger mutations. As nature deserves in all the evil humans cause nonhuman animals and nature. Humans are destroying the oceans and rainforest. Won't be enough clean air at the rate industries are polluting. But Climate Change will be a Game Changer too for non human animals. There just must be a virus the changes the odds. Swine Flu was from humans torturing animal too. Wet Markets are as filthy as factory farms. LOVE BATS now more than ever. Reap What You Sow. Carnist want to eat burned corpses.......it's time for non-human animals to level things out.
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.
Joël P As they get richer, their birth rates are going to drop. Just like how The West and East Asia developed and gradually had lower birth rates. Many Middle Eastern countries only have fertility rates of 2 - 3. And Botswana, possibly the most developed country in Africa, only has a fertility rate of 2.3
They are going through a process that all developed countries have to go through to become 1st world, they haven't fully industrialized yet and modern medicine has only just started to make way into these areas. People have lots of children to compensate for the high mortality rate but as soon as modern medicine kicks in these numbers will start to drop because not as many babies are needed to compensate for infant mortality. But soon after modern medicine becomes a standard there will be a population explosion THEN it will stabilize. This will probably happen in the mid 21st century meaning the human race probably won't ever have its 12 billionth human. Hope this helped :)
Good video. Can't say I'm a fan of the heartbeat for 5 mins straight though. Kinda obnoxious lol. Would have been cool to see historical references for African empires too seeing as there was one shown for Europe, Asia, and the Americas. Mali would have been a good example considering it supplied half of the world's gold up through the middle ages and the Renaissance. Other than that, very interesting video. Thumbs up.
Ireland sure was hit hard. It was growibbg fast during the industrial revolution. Reaching almost 9 million then falling back down to 3 million by 1920 and rising back up to 7 million today. Looks like about 10 million to britains 75 million by 2050. Compared to 8 million in ireland to 12 million in britain in 1840.
+Nanook av Süden Yeah, I see what you're saying. But then there'd probably be a fairly consistent dot appearance rate and I think the point of the video is to show how crazy quick the population is growing and faster dot appearance is more dramatic.
Ya just the number of dots near the end seems impossible to appreciate that sudden shift. Just a sea of yellow. I'm only making the suggestion because it looked as if a lot of effort was put into the video.
+Carlos A. Martinez Espinosa Muslims and Christians are against birth control and abortion. I am glad China did it and helped the whole world by reducing pollution.
+TheAs57 China's "helping reduce pollution?" When the air in most of their cities is not even breathable? When their rivers are polluted so much that one time the rivers ran red? Yeah, that sounds like a poster child to the rest of the world for "reducing pollution."
TheAs57 China has weak environmental regulations against corporations. Factories pollute pretty much without contest. As long as China's factories are spewing out pollution like its nobodies business, then cutting back how many kids the 1.357 billion people have is not going to stop shit.
Am i the only one who gets a little bit worried because of this, people are already starting WWIII due to population growth, so they might kill half of the world population 3 1/2 billion people, we will be left with devastated people, families and if a full out nuclear war breaks out, even the survivors will die due to natural causes, contaminated water, radiation sickness, im just glad in live in New Zealand, one of the safest places to be if war breaks out because New Zealand has not had a impact on this world, we wont get bombed just taken over and most likely left to fend for ourselves, grow our own food, and just stay alive.
Oh, I'm not worried, because if our capacity for ecological devastation continues to match our population growth, then WWIII should only last about an hour. And I am perfectly OK with our media ignoring this phenomenon, because it has always been my ambition to die fast and without warning. ;-)
dont forget mining colonies in the asteroid belt and a permanent moon base for mining helium 3, (we can use helium 3 for fusion power) it's very useful, there's lots of it on the moon, and it's a clean energy source
I have a question, at the beggining of the timeline wouldnt it have made more sense to feature Mesopotania/fertile cressent since they were the first river-valley civ.?
Okay, we watched this in social studies today, for research. Then, we watched it independently. One of the questions we had to answer was "what was the sound in the background, and what did it represent. All of the people at my table agreed that the heartbeat made them all really really anxious. I did too. I tried it two more times, trying to prove to myself that I wouldn't let that sound set of my anxiety. Both times, I had to throw off my headphones, and slow down my own heart rate. When I got home, and I was on my computer, and I remembered this video. So I looked it up on my home account and found it. I just tried watching it another three times. All of them I have had to mute it towards the end. Oh my god, I can't take the heartbeat!!! Wow!
The heartbeat speeding up, ought to be just fine, if people didn't try to twist it into seeming ominous rather than to celebrate human life growing and spreading.
An excellent and memorable presentation, calm yet showing the strain human beings are putting on the planet and its finite resources. It is so important to remember as well that we are not the only species on earth, our actions have a dramatic impact on other wild species, habit and forests.
***** You have a point, so you win this internet argument, as your info made more sense than mine and was well written and well researched. Congrats! But yeah, I have nothing else to write so...
Sriwijaya empire/Majahapit/Indonesia or whatever you wanna call it was pretty empty with only 1-4 million people in Java island! Then it grows so darn fast
manualLaborer Why age 11? Why not age 15 or 17? I imagine, not everybody even wants to have sex at age 11. Even in cultures where people still marry very young, isn't it possible that a guy who really cares about his wife, might give her a few more years for her body to better mature, before trying to mate with her? I mean, a wife is supposed to want the sex also? Here are more empty wombs to fill? Is that the message being communicated, by all those very skimpy bikinis on the beach? That seem to be advertising something? I wonder what? Is it possible that more modest attire might be appropriate? And if not, then what happened to speedos for guys then? If guys in prudish America can be more modest, is it okay for women to be more modest?
It was interesting to see the same video progress through the decades. The graphics improved dramatically, but the spoken opening narrative can be identical because we haven't dealt with our problems. smh
Pope Francis: "demographic growth is fully compatible with an integral and shared development”.To blame population growth instead of extreme and selective consumerism on the part of some, is one way of refusing to face the issues. It is an attempt to legitimize the present model of distribution, where a minority believes that it has the right to consume in a way which can never be universalized, since the planet could not even contain the waste products of such consumption. " (Laudato Si)
Europe had two major depopulation events one from the black death in the high middle ages, and the other around the time of the fall of the Western Roman Empire. If none of those happened, they probably would have far more people than China now
***** How are humans destroying everything? Not even that map, really suggests that. Without stupid mad-scientist "overpopulation" dogma, the map would have a completely different interpretation, perhaps something like the need of the baby in the womb, to grow and grow? The world can obviously hold lots more cities, so as to somehow provide a place for everybody. Why the negative spin on that map anyway? Doesn't it perhaps, merely show that Genesis 1;26, which says that God gave man dominion over nature and over other creatures, is actually true? The human-dominance of the planet, seems to be heavy these days, but surely that is probably a good thing?
Yosef MacGruber your comment shows your ignorance. the power of the growth is oil. this is what drives us to have more kids. so without oil, you'd need to see the dots in between to connect how this system works. if you're looking at the smaller picture, you have been living your life wrong way. but that's your boat you're floating on.
HighAway "Peak Oil" is a myth or huge deception, that enviro-wackos promote, so that they can jack up prices and oppress the poor. If enviro-wackos were for real, they would trumpet the suppressed free-energy technology, and tell people to stop polluting their bodies with contraceptives. I think that the NWO criminal elitists stole free-energy technology from Tesla and the American people, so that they could shelve it, and force us to continue paying their phony energy tax. Imagine how much cheaper oil might have to become, if it was only used for chemical and fertilizer applications? Why are we burning fuel for energy, when the universe is full of energy that it would share for free, if we could have the free-energy machines to tap it? Free-energy is far better than "green energy" of solar or wind, because free-energy is 24-7 and portable. It could run cars and cellphones. Imagine cellphones with no chargers. Who wouldn't want one? Imagine never refueling your car, and never recharging either. And why the over-emphasis upon oil for energy? If we didn't have cheap oil, why couldn't we use nuclear power plants energy to synthesize fuels? Nothing says that hydrocarbons can't be synthesized artificially. There is also plenty of nuclear energy. And that is if free-energy wasn't really available. But I think that it is, and if so, free-energy would quickly obsolete all other energy technologies by being far better. No emissions, no power bills. Can you start to see why the powers-that-be, don't like free-energy? It helps the poor and makes people less dependent upon government, makes the people harder to manipulate.
Thomas Rizk If this puts things into perspective for you then you really need to start studying data rather than being conditioned by a piece of manipulative propaganda.
Dave P Yeah, human population growth is both necessary and beneficial to the many people. There is much more to think about, besides a pretty graphic that explains very little about the sacred value and natural need of the *natural increase* of people.
Population growth is not a problem. It is already solved through efforts of spreading family planning and bringing people out of poverty. The only reason the population is still growing is that the last generation of big families are living longer and not dieing at the same rate but in the next generation families sizes world wide are smaller than ever so the increase won't continue. Just go check out Hans Rosling.
This information is accurate but also very misleading. By 2050 most the worlds population will be very old, and well passed being fertile. Current global birth rate is barely above replacement levels. And still continuing to fall. After 2050 (assuming we avoid nuclear war, zombie apocalypse and Armageddon ect. which tend to screw up any population estimate) The greatest die off in human history will occur simply from aging. Most countries do not have near enough children to replace their current population. Look at a population graph of japan, and its forecast, they reduced their birth rates first, and are already in a decline, that will in just a decade become a massive die off losing 2/3rds of their population by 2100.
+GhostInTheShell29 Your information is also accurate but, I would argue, misleading. Japan is an outlier and has one of the lowest birth rates in the world. Birth rates in Africa, the Middle East, and Pakistan / India (for example) are well above replacement and populations are still growing very rapidly (many are >3% growth each year), with a majority of these people very young and at an age where they are likely to start families. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_population_growth_rate
zwillshoes Many countries like China, South Korea most of Europe have followed Japan's lead, its not an outlier its just a decade ahead of most the other counties. Population is still growing very fast in India, even though its getting very close to replacement rate. There's a 2 generation gap before lower birth rates leads to a drop in population. Also Immigration is keeping many countries that would otherwise be shrinking above water. Like Germany for example their in almost as bad as shape as Japan, but with the help of several million immigrants they may be able to maintain their population. By taking in these people from other countries that are overpopulating will reduce the burden on those countries till they reach their own population decline.
It's called the population transition. France was the first country to go through with it in the 1700 to the 1800 fallowed by UK, Europe and the rest of the world. Most of the population increase in 2015 is due to less people dying. Countries like Japan won't loose 2/3 rd of their population, it'll decrease a little yes, but than stabilize and stay the same.
+GhostInTheShell29 You're way off. That only applies for Western and a few east asian countries. South america, africa and most of asia will continue with their population boom well into 2050. Humans will not stop expanding, only white people and the japanese will go extinct.
