Density By Latitude

This map shows human population density by latitude:

These predictions are worthy of note:

Looking ahead to 2100, the UN projects that the global population will rise to almost 11 billion. This would increase global population density from 59.11 people per square kilometer in 2022 to 80.82 per square kilometer in 2100.

However, the projections show that Asia will not be the biggest contributor to this growth. Instead, the most considerable jump in population is predicted for Africa, set to grow by almost 200% from almost 1.5 billion people today to 4.3 billion in 2100.

The equator runs right through the middle of Africa and crisscrosses countries like the Congo (both the Republic and DRC), Kenya, Gabon, Uganda, and Somalia.

As Africa’s population expands, this means that at latitudes near the equator, there could be even higher population densities coming. Or course, this largely depends on how the world’s fastest growing cities⁠ - most of which are in Africa - shape up over the coming decades.

That may help explain why the US has more or less invaded Africa. They've got the minerals we want, and apparently it's easier to steal them at the point of a gun than to buy them at a fair price.

Actually it's not, but don't tell that to the morons in Congress and the Pentagon. They'll make certain everything we get will cost at least twice what it's worth, with the excess profits going to the US war making industry and their shills in academia and the MSM.
