There’s an Equal Number of People in the Blue and Red Areas

There’s an Equal Number of People in the Blue and Red Areas is a Shed post by Tim Urban on the blog Wait But Why.
It starts with a photo used in an earlier post, showing how the populations of China, India, and parts of Malaysia and Indonesia combined make up more than 50% of the world’s population.
It then shows a map Tim’s friend, Max Roser, shared, showing how, at the time the blog post was written, the blue areas had 320 million people. The tiny red area had the same amount of people, 320 million, showing how sparsely populated much of the Earth is.
