notice that ~ 2/3 of the world population is south asia. Dear god. Nigeria and Pakistan combined have the same population as the US. Europe is a statistical error number wise compared to everything else.
- anigbrowl 15y agoEurope has about 400m people, more than the US. It's Russia that's thinly populated for its size (because a lot of it is frozen).
- kiiski 15y agoFrom wikipedia[1]: "Figures for the population of Europe vary according to which definition of European boundaries is used. The population within the standard physical geographical boundaries was 731 million in 2005 according to the United Nations[1]. In 2010 the population is 857 million, using a definition which includes the whole of the transcontinental countries of Russia[citation needed]. Population growth is comparatively slow, and median age comparatively high in relation to the world's other continents" [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Europe http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Europe
- priteau 15y agoYou must be referring to the European Union rather than the European continent. As of 2011, EU is now more than 500 million people.
- anigbrowl 15y agoMy point is that even the narrowest measure of Europe's population amounts to rather more than 'a statistical error' as suggested above.
