More interesting, imo - China and India host over a third of the world population. Each host more than the next five combined.

TIL that only seven countries make up more than half of the world's human population

Also interesting to me that India surpassed China's population. I know that their growth rate was significantly higher, but I thought they were still a ways off from surpassing them. With the birth rates a lot higher in India than China, I wonder how much larger their population will grow and what it will mean for global culture and communications.
Wow, I had no idea that Indonesia has almost 300,000,000 people. That’s pretty interesting!
