Recently this map-graphic surfaced on Reddit <\/a>and put into perspective Asia’s population dominance.<\/p>\n

Inside the circle, which includes China, India, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Japan and the much of southeastern Asia, there are\u00a0 3,637,830,357 people or roughly 51.4% of the entire population of humanity. Outside the circle all of North and South America, Europe and Africa combine to make up less than half the world’s population.<\/p>\n

By 2050 it is expected that 3.3 billion people will live in Asia’s cities alone.<\/p>\n
