I was just reading this interesting article on the topic. I particularly like the graph if population vs latitude. https://www.quora.com/Why-are-countries-like-India-and-China-so-densely-populated-What-are-the-circumstances-and-reasons https://www.quora.com/Why-are-countries-like-India-and-China...

That should have been scaled by, at least, length of the circle of latitude (there are fewer people the nearer you go to the poles not only because it is cold there, but also because there’s less area), preferably also by land area on the circle of latitude. Looking at the graph, I would guess that that combination explains quite a bit of the shape of the graph.
