Geographic maps that will change your understanding of the world. Population density of the world's countries Map characteristics of world population density
From school geography lessons, each of us remembered maps of the world, where countries were colored in different colors depending on mineral resources, population density and all sorts of other indicators. Today you will learn interesting information about the countries of the world and see ancient maps that you were unlikely to be told about in geography lessons.

World population density map
As can be seen from large countries, the highest population densities are in India and China, 364 and 140 people per square kilometer, respectively. In Russia, this figure is 8 people per square kilometer, and among the regions of Russia, the highest population density in Moscow is 4,770 people per square kilometer.

Reddit user TeaDranks created a map in which the size of each country is resized according to its population. And what do you think? Recognized world giants are suddenly sharply reduced in size... Yes, yes, we are talking about Canada and Russia. Our country is still the largest in Europe, but it is openly being squeezed from the east by China.
Each country retains its geographical location - which means it remains completely recognizable.
South America and Europe (with the exception of Russia) have not changed much in size. North America looks like its head has been cut off, and China and India barely fit into the map. Africa as a whole has retained its shape, although it is now clearly dominated by Nigeria.
Poor Australia can barely be seen, and Japan and the Philippines look much larger than usual.
Each cell on the map “accommodates” 500 thousand people - which means that some countries are not included on it at all.

It shows that several large agglomerations have always existed in the country at the same time and situations where one city (like Moscow in the Russian Federation) openly dominates the entire country have not arisen there.

This publication differs from many others in that a biologist writes about demographic problems. With the development of ethology, social biology and other sciences about animal behavior, biologists began to encroach on a special point of view regarding the behavior of Homo sapiens. Naturally, this causes an unfavorable reaction among sociologists and psychologists; the invasion of aliens from biology into their protected territory seems at first like blasphemy. And still…
