An interesting animation of the development of the human population in the world, showing the situation from the 1st century AD to the present day. The video also presents the projected population growth on Earth until 2050. The history of the human population on Earth.
It cannot be denied that the growth rate of the world's population is terribly uneven in relation to the history of mankind. Using the language of mathematics we could say that we are dealing with exponential growth. The rapid increase in the number of people on Earth is actually the last two centuries. This was of course influenced by several factors. The favorable political situation, the development of medicine, the improvement of living conditions, the primary accumulation of capital, the increase in the productivity of cultivation, etc. All this had and has an impact on the rapid growth of the population, which will undoubtedly be one of the problems of the future world.
The animation looks to the future, showing us the development of the world's population until 2050. Below is a map from the animation, where each yellow dot on the map symbolizes 1 million people. It is estimated that the human population on Earth will reach 10 billion by the end of the 21st century.
