Top 60 Chinese Cities Cities are one of the many phenomena that follow a long-tailed distribution. In simple terms there are a few big cities and lots of small ones. The classic way of showing a long tailed distribution (and the method from which the name is taken) is to produce as plot such as that below: The infographic at the top of the post by chinfographics.com demonstrates the distribution in a more engaging and constructive way. One method I have used in the past to demonstrate data with a long tailed distribution is the excellent Wordle tool. I have created a Wordle (below) for the same data (downloaded from Chinfographics). Village of 100 people Toby Ng Design a imaginé et réalisé une série d’affiches jouant intelligemment avec ce « Village of 100 people ». Il permet d’imaginer le monde comme s’il était un village de cent personnes avec différents graphiques. Des visuels soulignant des vérités criantes.

Captivant : l'évolution de la population humaine en vidéo Il a fallu 200 000 ans pour que la population humaine atteigne 1 milliard d'individus et seulement 200 ans pour qu'elle grimpe jusqu'à 7 milliards ! La vidéo ci-dessous, réalisée et diffusée par le Muséum d'Histoire naturelle américain, présente l'évolution de la population humaine à travers le temps. Tout commence il y a 100 000 ans lorsque les hommes modernes (Homo sapiens) quittent leur berceau africain pour se déployer sur la planète. La population restera basse jusqu'à la révolution du néolithique il y a environ 10 000 qui voit les hommes cultiver la terre et se sédentariser. C'est très bien illustré sur la vidéo. Au moment où nous écrivions cet article, nous étions précisément 7 462 917 142 individus sur Terre.
The Nighttime Earth SAN FRANCISCO — The Earth at night looks more beautiful than it ever has before in these incredible new images from NASA's Suomi NPP satellite. These super-high-resolution images, made possible by a new type of infrared sensor on the satellite, were revealed here at the American Geophysical Union conference Dec. 5.The Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite has a "day-night band" that can detect natural and man-made light with unprecedented resolution and clarity. It can resolve everything from the nocturnal glow of the atmosphere to the light of a single boat at sea.
World Population Clock: 7.9 Billion People (2021) 2023 World Population The World Population in 2023 is 8,045,311,447 (at mid-year, according to U.N. estimates[1]), a 0.88% increase (70,206,291 people) from 2022, when the population was 7,975,105,156, a 0.83% increase (65,810,005 people) from 2021, when the world population was 7,909,295,151. World Population: Past, Present, and Future (move and expand the bar at the bottom of the chart to navigate through time) The chart above illustrates how world population has changed throughout history. At the dawn of agriculture, about 8000 B.C., the population of the world was approximately 5 million. A tremendous change occurred with the industrial revolution: whereas it had taken all of human history until around 1800 for world population to reach one billion, the second billion was achieved in only 130 years (1930), the third billion in 30 years (1960), the fourth billion in 15 years (1974), and the fifth billion in only 13 years (1987).

Throughout history, women on average have given birth to more than five babies. In the 1960’s the numbers suddenly started falling, and is now down to less than three.
