Glad people were filling out their census forms back in 10,000 BC!
Do you even read the description. Its clearly mentioned these are estimations
Right?
Paper was invented much later
Like the man Just answer me in britain was 1500000 people
lol this cracked ne up
I believed in this channel but this ones data is totally incorrect, now i question their other videos as well. They dont even show sources. Dont believe everything you see on the internet
AliceShinya just recently saw a video from this channel and I thought its cool, but after this video I started questioning other videos !?
@@Nighetmare THEY FREAKING ESTIMATED!!
Same
Wrong Data about Uzbekistan)) They were not Uzbek, Uzbekistan was created as Nation and Government Recently
@@subkhonmalikov7605 "adjusted to present day boundaries"
This is the most inaccurate video on internet please take it down
Take that one down too. Lol
Take the other data is beautiful's cities population video down 2.
This makes me question the validity of this channel's other videos. There was no such thing as "Mexico", "Brazil", "Russia" etc in 10000 BC. What the actual fuck.
@Herdan yes. This data is so far off it can't even be defended as an estimate. This is absolutely garbage material. This is just numbers scrolling on a screen and in no way depicts even a close estimate. This is based off of no factual information.
@@burgler0984 For sure, he's an fraud aiming for clicks, i mean most history buffs knows the fact that the Achamenid Persian empire ruled 44% of the entire world population, including the entire fertile crescent back in 480 BC with an total world population of 120 000 000, and still holds the record as the biggest empire in terms of share of world population. And yet this so called "PhD" student assessment somehow indicates that China and India combined possessed 90 000 000 of the world population back then?
1:01 Australia.exe stop working
Hhahahaha
Everyone made sure there would only be 250,000 people for some years just for the meme.
🤣🤣🤣
It is interesting that Japan was so populous even though it was almost isolated in world history until the mid-1800s.
Japan has enough food to fed its people. Not to mention they traded constantly with China and Korea even after the Sakoku period, both of them rich in rice.
Japan is lack of resources like oil and metal but food is sufficient
Farming fishing, and entire islands with nice natural harbors to trade from. Japan though resource wise is quite poor, geography wise is quite impressive for holding and maintaining large populations, as well as the advantage to just as easily cut out outside influences
I'm interested in where you got this data. Can you put some links in the description
India went super saiyan for a moment.
@papa joe stalin of Stalinist stanistan Lmao
@Prithivi Narayan Shah What about the Mughals
@Prithivi Narayan Shah Either you havent read history or you refuse it, India was always there since time immortal. The names were different though and were seperated in mahajanpadas and small countries but the whole sub-continent was know as India, hindustan or Bharat.
@Prithivi Narayan Shah Thats what i am pointing out at with valid and accepted history that at Ashoka regime BC 268 to 232 and with Maurya dynasty to Sungas, Kanvas abd Satavahanas India was unified and known as Bharat, same name used in Historically accepted vedas and purana work dating back BC 1500-1900 and the same name “Bharat” used for the sub-continent. So yes it was unified not once but multiple times with same name.
it would be great if you could provide your audience with the resources you rely on.
keep going the excellent work 👍
There was a time when millions used to live in a continental, now is a time where million live in a city
Funny that, unlike Europe during the Black Death, the population of Brazil fell precipitously from 1500, coinciding with the arrival of the portugueses. But, I had never obtained accurate numbers on the total pre-Portuguese population in Brazil, where it was said to be around 5 to 8 million, not the 12 million shown in the graph. Not showing the actual numbers of the European population during the Black Death puts the truth of this chart in doubt.
Same with mexico. Went off the list after spanish arrived.
So basically there was a time when other countries were at top rather then china n india 😅
Asia always held higher population cos of agricultural and fertile lands that made it easier to sustain a large population
Crazy to think how much lower the population used to be just 120 years ago.
4:25 this was around the time that high calorie crops came from the new world, specifically corn, sweet potatoes, and peanuts, which could be grown in land that rice could not.
3:01
Intresting fact: China and India will have the same distance in 1000 years
@VISHAL DUGAD No, India was never a thing until the British came in, they were all separate kingdoms, it's like if you said Japan was always united, but it wasn't, it was all divided in clans, same with India
@@Chris-55 have you heard of the mughal empire who united all of India for many centuries where everyone of any religion or ethnicity lived in harmony together.
@@zakir2815 lol, and you actually expect me to belive there was 100% harmony in the middle ages? Don't be ridiculous not even a toddler belives that
@@Chris-55 then search about Mauryan and Gupta empire (the golden age of India).
They’re going to have to take down the comment section, too much common sense happening here.
😂
In India approx 50 Million people are dead due to Famine since 1760's Starting British Ruling India.
No details before British rule about Famine deaths.
@IcantSeeReplies Truth butthurts

a version of this with population density would be cool
I have to really question the source of the data in this video.
@Twinkle Drop What historians? Because the charts are still way of.
Civilizations
I enjoy your videos, but I don't think this one is correct.
Neither the plague nor the Thirty Years War had any impact on the European countries despite Germany losing a third of its population in both of them.
France was similarly affected by the plague, but I didn't see any change there either.
Thanks for your input! In such cases when there're no exact data points and thus estimations are used - it tends to be mostly based on trends extrapolation. So one time events are usually have minimal effects on curve.
@@DataIsBeautifulOfficial I understand, but the Thirty Years War wasn't exactly a short event and I don't think Europe recovered so quickly from the Black Death that it didn't affect population in the following decades.
@@Heliophobos 30 yrs is kinda short in relation to the time counter been used from BC TO AD. You were expecting to see num go down but i bet they shot back up.
@@nojvaz2392 That's right, but were talking about 1618 - 1648 AD. During this war the Holy Roman Empire lost between 20 to 45% of its population. This is a significant change which should appear in the graph.
Not to mention the Black Death in the second half of the 14th century which claimed 25 million lives; a third of Europe's population at the time.
Data Is Beautiful
I think, u can make better than this.. i give u example the declined population
1. During Alexandre Conquer -336 to -323
2. China Three Kingdom War 220-280
3. Rom-Persian War 602-628
4. Muslim Expansion 622-750
5. An Lushan Rebellion 756-763
6. Mongol Conquest 1206-1367 and Timur Conquest (1370-1405)
7. Black Death 14th
8. Indian Sub-Continent Conflict 12th-19th (slow population grow)
9. Anti-Qing Rebellion 1851-1878
High population at
- Greece (during Ancient Time)
- Egypt (New Kingdom)
- Iraq & Iraq (Mesopotamia Civ., Achaemenid, Parthian, Sasanid)
- Syria (Assyrian Empire)
Was this an April Fool's joke? It's so laughably awful and calls the entire channel into question.
Why even ask; the user is bound and determined not to answer.
How is it laughable? Whats not adding up?
Awesome effort!! I loved it
Yay! Thank you!
With all due respect It's not even an estimation. I don't know what that is!
So for China, you've got in the Three Kingdoms War of 184-280 which wiped out half the population, but not An Lushan's Rebellion which did the same in 8 years (755-763)....
Neither of those events actually killed half the population
I love your videos omg
Still waiting for a Dinosaur population video from 200,000,000 years ago to now.
India was like -Let us create whole world in India itself😂
Kievan Rus borned in 882 ..... Russia.... What?!
Unated States ??????????? In ancient world?! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😭🤣🤣🤣😅
@@alanmalan3819 don't you see the "adjusted to present day boundaries" note?
The population of india and china is in accurate
Very interesting! :)
Wonder what it was like to only have 100 thousand people on one continent at a time
I'm Brazilian and I always learnt that in 1500 we had 3-5 million natives living here.
Também, acho incrível!
Nos anos 1550 o gráfico desceu a população a essa quantidade
@@Andsuu Em 1500 ficam nítidos os efeitos do genocídio provocado pelos europeus.
Diz a lenda que foi o que sobrou depois que os Atlantis foram submersos...
Kkkkkkkk caralho a quantidade que decresce de 1500 em diante é absurdo
The "fact" that population was so large in Mexico back in 9664BC makes me consider that man first evolved somewhere in Mexico rather than somewhere in Africa.
Actually India, Pakistan and Bangladesh were one in that time🤔
ADJUSTED TO PRESENT DAY BOUNDARIES!
@@DJCLeandro no sir you could have made it together and split it after 1947: the partion of the nation
India is a beacon of hope in those early years. We are one of the greatest civil societies those days
How could they have so precise numbers from so far back in the prehistory?
It's only estimation.
It doesn't look like this took account that new research says that the Mayan civilization reached over 22 million people which in turn should have made Mexico's population a lot higher and put Guatamala on the list.
While it looks like you've taken into account the death due to disease etc due to the Conquistadors you've totally ignored the Black Death.
1:20 when australia left... i felt that
Australian aboriginal people.
Fascinating !!!
I’m really interested in Mexico having the largest population. Where can I find more information about that?
It's sad to see Mexico and Brazil go in the 1400s and 1500s
I think they used population graphs of the past 100 years and worked backwards to try and make predictions.
Me: sees that gray represents Russia, and on the map whole Europe is a part of it.
Me(inside): I serve the Soviet union
the grey seems to represent Europe & Eurasia,.... Ukraine, Russia, Italy, Germany, Turkey, France, Spain, UK. etc all have this colour
How come the americas start out with such a huge population, when probably only a small number of people came from Beringia not much earlier?
They came 13,000 years ago
@@hyzercreek Maybe even earlier, but still: humans were in other parts of the world many many thousands of years earlier but yet with notable smaller population as in america? That's quite astounding.
@@ambarcraft4476 I'm not buying the Mexico stuff. I think Africa had millions of people, it's a huge continent and people were there first
@@hyzercreek Yes that's exactly what I am expecting too, but it's missing in the video
@@hyzercreek But this is based on present-day boundaries. Africa is a very fractured continent with dozens of small to medium countries, while Mexico and Brazil have large territories.
This was a remix of hotel California instrumentals. Where can i get this?
Beautiful n good information
Many many thanks
2:15 India's population was more than entire world ?
No. Calculate it
Not actually!
Even after excluding pak, afg, ban!
More like 20-25%.
On what source did you manage this data? Because I don't think any such data on world population Exists
Academic research.
1:43 World deadliest War which is Mahabharat War starts which slowdown Indian population.
It's due to fertile plane lands and moderate climate
They f**k to much mate. Lol
@Ricky Dicky i smell a butthurt mashed potato
In 1500 the portugueses arrived in Brazil. Just look what happens to the population.....
LAST BANSHEE sad.
Actual anicent India Covered - India + Pakistan + Bangladesh
Afghanistan too.
Nepal too
It wasn't unified though. It was mainly a lot of separate kingdoms.
@@irtazaazam2573 It was called Bharatvarsh unified through languages, culture, dharma.
@@brijeshchandrakar by that logic, every Muslim nation during Ottoman times would be called Arab. They had Arab culture and language. The Hindu states weren't all unified they fought among themselves.
Wow census records were great back in 6395BC
Apparently the United States is older than we thought 🤔
@@seanbaker2577 It's by land not countries
I wonder how the population of Australia was known as 250K in 9000 BC as the 4th largest world population ?
They have been exterminated by the present-day Australians
Brazilian Population in 2017 (most recent accurate census) = Chinese population in 1661 = Indian Population in 1798

Can you start providing sources on your videos. I love watching them but you really need to provide sources
It's in the description
Data sources are random numbers
@@100Livello that's right, people is stupid these days that they ask for sources and are simply there!!
Glad to see Nepal on the list🥰

Also Comments: *doesn't show their sources saying its wrong*
maybe the best video on yt!!!
How do we know there existed certain population in certain regions...?
It was the native Americans duh, by skulls and bones and also items left all these years
Till 1947 Pakistan was india shocked to see Pakistan in 1700 they didnt even exist 😂
Coitado da população no Brasil Justamente em 1500, Não consigo nem imagina o tamanho da bagunça que foi mas esses números descendo assusta.
It says prominently in the title in the video “Adjusted to present day boundaries” but yet every other comment is complaining about how these countries did no exist in ancient times. And half the rest are saying it is inaccurate I presumably for the same reasons.
Thanks for making the video and sorry you have to put up with that sort of thing.
Yeah I see that a lot :)
Thanks for the support!
Is this a joke?
So many people in Mexico, relatively speaking, for all those thousands of years? It is crazy to think that American Indians may once have been the most populous peoples on Earth!
2000 years ago, India and China combined had more than 75% of the world's population. 1000 years ago, more than 50% lived in one of those countries. 500 years ago, they still had about 40%. 100 years ago, they had 50%. Today they "only" have about 35%.
What is it in the soil there that makes people so fertile?
How the hell does anyone know anything back 10000 years BC !?
They really don't, it's all estimations. Demographics give evolutionists a difficult time as well.
how many houses, rooms, city form, etc. their towns where
7 billion humans and i am still single.
Nepal 😮
And again. Germany isn't bad, but China is again winning. China and India could have conquered the world if they would have been 1 country just by having more people (At least before industrialization kicked of in Europe)
They didn't because they are happy in there land.. don't want to conquer the world.. even there is no war between India and China like.. french-dutch-english-spanish
@@kunalnagwanshi8752 Actually they in parts did conqer asia unil first the mongols and later the europeans kicked theyr ass wit better organized troops and tech. But you have a point. Another reason they didnt conquered is, they hadn't a that solid government.
@@samuelstrunk5525 that's our strength
@@samuelstrunk5525 The Mauryan Empire, which formed around 321 B.C.E. and ended in 185 B.C.E., was the first pan-Indian empire, an empire that covered most of the Indian region. It spanned across central and northern India as well as over parts of modern-day Iran

@Rafael Cury Rayes you didn't get it but its okay, here's a cookie for this history lesson I didn't learn in school 🍪
According to all my sources, there were more than 50 Million Native Americans Pre-Columbus.
Alexander Stone and those are the most conservative realistic modern estimates. There is now research that Amazonia might have had 8-50 million people itself! Interesting
I love the law defined by Benford 🙌
How does one know this information?
The Black Death killed at least a 100m people between 1347-1351, but this is not reflected in your data
Countries are growing in population fast in 1 ad 1000 ad

Could you elaborate more on this?

@@sampadization india didn't had wars lol are you joking me greatest ancient war wiped out 70% of population at that time 50% of peoples was from greater india
If world population grow so fast:
How can population data from B.C. be available?
I think some ancient countries with data in B.C. such as Rome and Han dynasty.
But of course this video is bullshit.
They calculated through division
Pakistan and Bangladesh was not even there at that time 😂
Kievan Rus borned just in 882.... Russia???? What?! 😂
United States in 6000bc. 😬

India was also not there it was just fucked many Kingdoms/Imperial/Empires
En serio llegamos a se el lugar más poblado en el mundo? 🇲🇽
I think it would be more interesting if instead of present day countries, you represented major powers of each age. It doesn't tell me a lot what the mainland Spain population was when the Spanish Empire had 1/4 of the world...

India's population in 1000 AD should have been at least 200M, and by 1500 AD, it should have been 120-170M
I was waiting for the Mongols and the population was still increasing. 3:20
China's population is increasing faster than India at that time even though the Mongols didn't attacked India!
China (950 BC) : lets double the birth rate 🤪
where do these figures come from? I thought civilization spread from the basins in Africa. How did Mexico end up with millions by 7000bc?
Hops Through archaeology they found out that the Mexican peninsula was an entire rainforest with evidence of ice age animals and civilization.
Human beings were coming out of Africa, in various waves, for hundreds of thousands of years. By the time this charts begins, humans had long since spread across the planet.
Mexico actually was the most densely populated place on the planet until 1519, even surpassing India and China.
