India and China have so many people today because they’re good for farming and big, but they’ve always been that way, so they’ve actually had a huge proportion of Earth’s people for thousands of years.

Hope this happens in India also.
1) They have good weather and lots of rivers network so early civilization chose these lands to settle down, for agriculture and fishing all years around. In Europe, u couldn't farm any thing for 1/3 of the years due to weather.
2) Due to agriculture base economy, they need more manpower hence more children each generation.
3) Wars. Before weapon of mass destruction invented, these countries had a lot of wars and conflict, thus pushing them to have even more children, just in case the first few die to war or diseases.
3) They do trading from very early civilization, through contact with people from different regions, they built up immunity to some of early plague and disease , that would normally wipe out European or native Americans
Yes lndian have a lot people but not enough toilets

This is been trend from ancient time as both India and china are oldest continuous civilization.
Civilization happened around more fertile plains.

You see, China and India still has their great rivers thanks to the Himalayas. And the surrounding area are grasslands.
In Middle East, it's a desert and Tigris/Euphrates had history of the waters getting bad.
In Southeast Asia, they also have good rivers fed by Himalayas but it's mostly dense jungle. Jungles are hard to tame, and cutting it down can cause problems, especially for a tropical country.

The river systems of China and India really provided them with a boost, especially when combined with Rice. Being able to grow and harvest multiple rice crops every year made it easier to feed more people. Which in turn encouraged people to have more children (So they had help harvesting the rice).
China and India are also some of the oldest civilisations on the planet and have huge swaths of territory.
Being located on the Eurasian continent they also luckily benefited from trade with other states which encouraged growth. Unlike the unfortunate Native Americans the Chinese and Indians had built up immunity to diseases that wiped out most Native Americans. Meaning that when Europeans came they didn't suffer massive population decline.

Hi, this is Kate from MinuteEarth. India and China together are home to over 2.7 billion people. That’s as many humans as in the next 20 most populous countries combined, or in the whole other 170 countries in the world.
2 - Over the last 300 years, India and China each added more than a billion people to their populations - way more than any other country. But they have actually been growing at about the same rate as the rest of the world. They have a lot more people today because they had a lot more people a few hundred years ago, when the world began a period of modern and rapid population growth.
3 - It’s like comparing a big bank account and a small one: if they both grow at about the same rate over many years, the big one gains a lot more money, simply because it started with more. So the billion dollar (or billion person) question is: why did India and China have so many people when they started their rapid growth?
4 - We can’t know for sure since so many variables factor into long-term population dynamics. But the two most plausible explanations are food and area. Having lots of fertile land and good access to fresh water makes it possible to grow lots of food, which in turn makes it possible to nourish a lot of people.
5 - Even today the 10 most populated countries in the world all have a relatively large amount of farmland. And Asia - and in particular south and east Asia - has tons of farmland, lots of river valleys and the ability to grow food year round. Plus, domestication of plants and animals essentially started in Asia, giving populations an early “leg”-or “wing”-up.¹
6 - As such, Asia’s been the most densely populated region of the world for a really long time. Area matters too. Countries like Pakistan and Bangladesh may be filled with farms and densely populated, but because they’re smaller in area than India and China they simply cannot contain as many people. Of course, a few other things happened in India and China in the last few thousand years.
7 - Some of them helped the populations grow and some of them shrank the populations. But through it all the large and fertile lands of India and China were able to sustain lots of people, such that when the era of modern population growth came around, they had a head start; or rather a hundred million head start.
8 - This video was sponsored by The University of Minnesota where students, faculty and staff across all fields of study are working to solve the grand challenges facing society. The Minnesota Population Center is helping demographic researchers explore past and current trends in world population.
9 - The Global Landscapes Initiative is working to figure out how to keep feeding the world’s growing population without harming the planet. And the IPUMS Terra Project integrates global population data with data on the environment to better understand how humans transform ecosystems and how ecosystems transform humans. Thanks, University of Minnesota.
Sorry no China wants cheap disposable labor and India is just sloppy about population management
they had a head start because the indus river vally and the yellow river vally are where two of the oldest civilation begain

You seem like an educated person,why don't you find me some of these places called "middle school" as i'm too illiterate to find these myself.
Using that logic the Middle East would have the biggest head start of them all
It's the rivers and the Himalayas . And ofcourse, good economics till 1600 AD
That’s bad economy

Gostei muito do vídeo, bem explicado e o assunto de grande relevância, parabéns.
India is like a mini Europe. Here people of different languages are living for thousands of years. If Europeans wouldn't migrate to North and South America, Australia , Africa then combined European population would be billion+ . What is happening to Europe now has happened in India hundreds of years back; the migration. People of different countries e.g, Muslims,the Tibetan people from Tibet, Austroasiatic people from south east Asia etc. And the massive death due to any disease or natural calamity was very rear like the bubonic plague in Europe. So death rate was very less than the birth rate in the past. After the development in medical science in modern history the population growth rate again increased. So basically Indians didn't gone through massive death in past as the Native Americans died due to diseases which caused huge decrease in their population.

There is not a single environmental problem that could not be improved or even eliminated completely with a smaller world population. The focus should not be on feeding a growing population, but on controlling the population and reducing it.
tsilihin xuaF He was talking about controlling, not eliminating the population.
Hahaha typical comment. To inform you, I have no children.. If I did I would have no more than 2. What about you?
I'm talking about population control eliminating environmental problems, and you know damn well that's what I am talking about. It's not my race that is overpopulated. If everyone in the world limited procreation to just 2 children, then overpopulation could be arrested.

@@nethascotx24 how so out of curiosity? What are you thinking?
12 Months Of Funko Ok long story short, why environment has a “carrying capacity”. This is the maximum amount of popularity on a place can hold. The earth is reaching its carrying capacity, meaning that the population will stop growing. This kind of growth is seen in the developed countries such as the European countries as well as America with developing countries approaching this. Due to a high amount of population, many people are in specialised labour meaning that they do not grow their own food and cannot support themselves. By disrupting the supply chains and farmers, much more than 50% will die. Countries approaching the carrying capacity will be reset and thus will have more fertility rate. In a matter of less than 50 years, the populous will be back at the state is now making thanos’ snap not only ineffective but counter productive as more lives will be lost during this period and developing countries( as all will be during that time) produce more pollution and use resources less effectively
Hope this explains it all!
Shuru Yoshi racist much
It's simple because of family pressure after marriage
Indians could relate
Basically it's goes like
1. U come to the world
2. Few years of unconditional love
3. School starts and also pressure to get good grades
4. Enters high school peer pressure for entrance exam and 10th and 12th
5. Gets into one of the govt. College u will get pressure for career
6. Now u have a degree and a good source of earning
Pressure to get married
7. U got married
Pressure to have a first child once it came
The elders would ask for siblings
*Basic reason why india has too much population*
It's the basic life of most of the Indian
Note: many came and many gone but no one could defeat the elders taunt

The film does not mention the effect of war. European history since 16th century is really a history of never ending wars of nations.
it did though, very clearly. And China has had more wars and a larger death toll when it comes to wars. Which confuses me on how they are still such a large population so maybe it boils down to their abundance of fresh water and fertile lands.
Humans produce more children just after the war that was also seen after WW2(Boomers) due to 2 reasons, one is economic growth and another the fear of another war, where they participate and die, and if they had more then their could be less death toll!
@Ali In democratic Western world population increased rapidly post war but communist regime in China controlled it like one child policy(population was always big in China compared to other parts)
The real answer is actually the Himalayan mountains they're the tallest mountain range on earth winch means every spring as temperatures rise in the northern hemisphere the greatest amount of snow melt occurs here on earth. The major rivers of china and india. All originate as the snowmelt of the Himalayan winch contributes to the fertile plains and abundance of freshwater winch has enabled the populations to flourish. The Amazon River in south America has a similar origin from snow melt in the Andes mountains and most major rivers worldwide have similar origins like the Congo and nile rivers in central africa. The Himalayas are single handedly the reason for the large populations. Same for Pakistan and Bangladesh.
seantrell Nichols no it’s wrong, monsoon and jungles are the main reason for water flow in rivers in India, just think about south
EXACTLY. 126 of the 126 tallest mountains are in the Himalayas. Not a coincidence the three most populous places on the planet border it -(1# South Asia, #2 East Asia and #3 South East Asia.)

It's also worth noting that the areas around Bangladesh, China, India and Pakistan are at or near the places of two of the earliest civilizations; ancient China and the Indus river valley civilization.
You didn't mention the fact that their cultures and family dynamics make it conducive to raising a lot of children. In Asian cultures, the grandparents play a vital role in raising and rearing grandchildren. This helps the parents to work without distractions or complications. Secondly, extended family and the need for them is also why having lots of children doesn't become a burden on the parents. In other words, relatives have a vested interest in making sure that couples have babies. An aunt and uncle are like parents to children who aren't biologically theirs.

No, I don’t think the creators of this video understand enough. You cannot attribute that immense growth in population, just to the farmlands. There is plenty of farmland in North America and Europe Africa. Just google the map for arable land and you will see what I’m talking about. The primary reason which hasn’t been mentioned in This video is that both of these civilisations were way more advanced then any other civilisation at the time a lot of people from other lands migrated to these lands contributing to increase in population and sooner, these lands had more amenities, luxuries, better dynasties than most of the world now with the rise of kingdoms and dynasties, food production and economies thrives and a lot of people took up agriculture to support the demand, which caused them to make the most out of the agricultural potential of those lands near the rivers. Trade routes were made from other countries and even more people migrated after looking at the survivability in these lands. But if you want to condense such a dense topic into guess of “ oh, more food! More Growth!!”. Caricature, then sure.
For everyone complaining about the map, that's just how it is for most people internationally. No matter how obvious it seems, on an international level, it is still considered to be a disputed territory, and this is the case for most countries with disputed territories. So most maps, for example Google maps, show whatever is acceptable to the people in the country.
So in India, all of J&K is part of india, but in Pakistan it is shown differently. And for most of the other countries it J&K is not included in any country... so when people from other countries search for maps of India the most common one that they will see is the one without J&K... not because that's what they believe is true, but because that's the UN accepted standard.
The same is true for any other country with territorial disputes. No matter how obvious it seems, unless it is recognized officially at an international level, it will be considered as a disputed territory.
Then you have to show the the disputed territory enclosed within the border, that is what good channels do like 'Geography now'. These guys have merged the disputed land with Pakistan & China like its their legally.
@@davel7037 Thats understandable, but I don't think its necessarily wrong. That's how most maps internationally show the distribution of J&K, so it's not someone's fault to represent it this way. Especially when the disputed territories aren't relevant to the video. For instance, its necessary to explain the disputed territories in a geography now video because that's a relevant topic. If someone wants to make a video about one aspect of any country, that doesn't require significant research about that specific country, they wouldn't even come across any information about such disputes.
I had to google J and K India to find out what you are talking about. That is awful!
In any case, I can't accept it; being an Indian

The first few early civilisations also started in Asia, with the Indus Valley Civilization (morden day Pakistan) and some dynasty in China, in fact the biggest city in the world is located in Asia, Tokyo, Japan.
@@nzw7557 ok
LOL Indus valley civilisation sites are more in India than in pak. Pak wasn't even a thing untill 1947. Paki, indus valley civilisation was vedic. It doesn't belong to u culturally at all.
I will say the reason for having a dense population is the weather, it's much more suitable to live in that kind of weather than living in freezing cold countries or freaking hot countries.
Because of Advanced Civilization
The invasion couldn't erase one of the oldest surviving civilization on earth.
We still retain some of the knowledge and have different time keeping systems and everything was in sync with nature.
The Hindu metrics of time (Kaala Vyavahara) can be summarized as below:
• a Lipta (लिप्ता) is approximately 0.4 seconds
• a Vighati (विघटि) is 60 Liptas, or approximately 24 seconds
• a Ghadika (घटि) is 60 Vighatis, or approximately 24 minutes
• a Muhurta is equal to 2 Ghadikas, or approximately 48 minutes
• a Nakshatra ahoratram (नक्षत्र अहोरत्रम्) or sidereal day is exactly equal to 30 Muhurtas (Note: A day is considered to begin and end at sunrise, not midnight.)
An alternate system described in the Vishnu Purana Time measurement section of the Vishnu Purana Book I Chapter III is as follows:
100 Truti = 1 Tatpara
30 Tatpara = 1 Nimesha
15 Nimeshas = 1 Kásht́há
30 Kásht́hás = 1 Kalá
30 Kalás = 1 Kṣaṇa
12 Kṣaṇa = 1 Muhúrtta
30 Muhúrttas = 1 day (24 hours)
30 days = 1 month
6 months = 1 Ayana
2 Ayanas = 1 year or one day (day + night) of the gods
Small units of time used in the Vedas
• a Trasarenu is the combination of 6 celestial atoms.
• a Truti is the time needed to integrate 3 Trasarenus, or 1/1687.5th of a second.
• a Vedha is 100 Trutis.
• a Lava is 3 Vedhas.
• a Nimesha is 3 Lavas, or a blink.
• a Kshanas is 3 Nimeshas.
• a Kashthas is 5 Kshanas, or about 8 seconds.
• a Laghu is 15 Kashthas, or about 2 minutes.
15 Laghus make one Nadika, which is also called a danda. This equals the time before water overflows in a six-pala-weight [fourteen ounce] pot of copper, in which a hole is bored with a gold probe weighing four masha and measuring four fingers long. The pot is then placed on water for calculation.
2 Dandas make one Muhurta.
6 or 7 Dandas make one Yamah, or 1/4th of a day or night.
4 Praharas or 4 Yamas are in each day or each night.
LUNAR METRICS
a tithi (also spelled thithi ) or lunar day is defined as the time it takes for the longitudinal angle between the moon and the sun to increase by 12°. Tithis begin at varying times of day and vary in duration from approximately 19 to approximately 26 hours.
a paksa (also paksha) or lunar fortnight consists of 15 tithis
a masa or lunar month (approximately 29.5 days) is divided into 2 pakshas: the one between new moon and full moon is called gaura (bright) or shukla paksha; the one between full moon and new moon krishna paksha
a ritu is 2 masa
an ayanam is 3 rituhs
a year is 2 Aayanas
TROPICAL METRICS
a Yaama (याम) = 1/4th of a day(light) or night [ = 7½ Ghatis (घटि) = 3¾ Muhurtas (मुहूर्त) = 3 Horas (होरा) ]
4 Yaamas 1 half of the day (either day or night)
8 Yaamas 1 day (day + night)
an Ahoratram is a tropical day (Note: A day is considered to begin and end at sunrise, not midnight.)
Reckoning of time among other entities
Reckoning of time amongst the pitrs( ancestors souls)
1 human day = 1/30 day of the pitrs
30 days of human is 1 month of human = 1 day of the pitrs
12 months of human = 1 year of the pitrs
The lifespan of the pitrs is 100 years of the pitrs (= 3,600 human years)
Reckoning of time amongst the Devas (loosely translates demi Gods/Elemental Gods)
1 human year = 1 day of the Devas.
30 days of the Devas = 1 month of the Devas.
12 months of the Devas = 1 year of the Devas
The lifespan of the Devas is 100 years of the Devas (= 36,000 human years)
The Vishnu Purana Time measurement section of the Vishnu Purana Book I Chapter III explains the above as follows:
2 Ayanas (six month periods, see above) = 1 year or one day (day + night) of the devas
360 days of the devas = 1 year of the devas
12,000 years of the devas = 4 Yugas
Reckoning of time for Brahma.
12,000 years of the Devas = 1 day of Brahma (4320,000,000 human years). This day is divided into 10, 000 parts called charanas.
The charanas are divided as follows:
The Four Yugas (4 ages)
4 charanas (1,728,000 solar years) Satya Yuga
3 charanas(1,296,000 solar years) Treta Yuga
2 charanas(864,000 solar years) Dwapar Yuga
1 charanas(432,000 solar years) Kali Yuga
The cycle repeats itself so altogether there are 1000 cycles of yugas in one day of Brahma.
One cycle of the above four yugas is one mahayuga (4.32 billion solar years)
A manvantara consists of 71 mahayugas (306,720,000 solar years). Each Manvantara is ruled by a Manu (the first Man of every cycle after the great flood)
After each manvantara follows one Sandhi Kala of the same duration as a Krita Yuga (1,728,000 = 4 Charana). (It is said that during a Sandhi Kala, the entire earth is submerged in water.)
A kalpa consists of a period of 1,728,000 solar years called Adi Sandhi, followed by 14 manvantaras and Sandhi Kalas.
A day of Brahma (the God of Creation) equals
(14 times 71 mahayugas) + (15 x 4 Charanas)
= 994 mahayugas + (60 Charanas)
= 994 mahayugas + (6 x 10) Charanas
= 994 mahayugas + 6 mahayugas
= 1000 mahayugas
as is confirmed by the Gita statement
"sahasra-yuga paryantam ahar-yad brahmano viduH",
meaning, a day of brahma is of 1000 (maha-)yugas. Thus a day of Brahma, kalpa, is of duration: 4.32 billion solar years. Two kalpas constitute a day and night of Brahma
30 days of Brahma = 1 month of Brahma (259,200,000,000 human years)
12 months of Brahma = 1 year of Brahma (3,110,400,000,000 human years)
25 years of Brahma = 1 kalpa (77,760,000,000,000 human years)
2 kalpas = 1 parardha (155,520,000,000,000 human years)
2 parardhas = 100 years of Brahma, the lifespan of Brahma (311,040,000,000,000 human years)
The Vishnu Purana Time measurement section of the Vishnu Purana Book I Chapter III explains the above as follows:
360 days of the gods = 1 year of the gods
12,000 years of the gods = 4 Yugas
1,000 sets of 4 Yugas = a day of Brahmá
50 years of Brahma = 1 Pararddham
100 years of Brahma = 1 Param
4,000 + 400 + 400 = 4,800 years = 1 Krita Yuga
3,000 + 300 + 300 = 3,600 years = 1 Tretá Yuga
2,000 + 200 + 200 = 2,400 years = 1 Dwápara Yuga
1,000 + 100 + 100 = 1,200 years = 1 Kali Yuga
Alternately, the reigns of 7 Rishis, Indra and Manu = 1 Manwantara = 71x12,000+A (A is not given) = 852,000 years of the gods+A (A is not given)
14 Manwantaras = a day of Brahmá
VEDIC TIME UNITS GREATER THAN A KALPA
Ancient vedic cosmology takes into account handful of time spans which are even greater than one Kalpa or a day of Brahma. One such unit is a "Maha-Kalpa" which is composed of 36000 such days of Brahma. One Maha-Kalpa is considered as the lifetime of Brahma. There are time units which are larger than one Maha-Kalpa. The largest of them has been calculated as several quadrillions of human years. This precise and massive calculations indicate one important aspect of vedic time system, that, whenever the term "Infinity" has been mentioned in Vedas, it does not indicate something very large. Instead, it appears that the term is meant to refer its literal synonym itself.

I'm so sorry to say but this video added zero to my knowledge or understanding. The only 2 points made are - they had fertile agricultural land and that they're large in size. MANY countries with these two features exist which do not have this crazy population. Except for some bad puns, this video wasn't informative at all.
Annie
in the beginning,they had a headstart in everything, civilization,food,science,education, and population. if they had started with 1000 people and the growth rate is 10%, they have 1100 people. At the same time, if your country started with 10 people at the same rate of 10%, you have a population of 11 people.
Vinay Minnu, frank .... NO - India's population has increased a lot - nothing to do with ancient history. When I first visited India in 1999 it had about 990 million people, now it's got almost 1.35 billion, that's 35% increase - this is not normal, in Australia (a country with a good birth rate and a big annual immigration intake) the population rose by 20% during that time, The UK & China 15%, in Russia the population has dropped even. India's huge population has far more to do with what has happened in the last 40 years, than how many people there were there thousands of years ago. In 1960 the UK had 52 million it now has 65 million, in Germany, in 1960 it was 72 million, now (with heavy immigration over the last few years) it's 82 million. INDIA - 1960 it was 415 million - now it's 1.35 billion ..... nothing to do with ancient history.
Annie I think u are a dumb head
Many factors play role here.
Better healthcare and high illiteracy, and poverty are some of them.
Prateek Biswas, what? So countries that are more developed, richer, and use birth control are less smart. Not really. The technologically most advanced countries with the greatest number of inventions per person tend to have fewer children. Here are top nine patents/capita 2012: South Korea, Japan, Switzerland, Germany, United States, Finland, Denmark, Austria, Netherlands. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Intellectual_Property_Indicators
Japan's population is decreasing, and a number of other advanced societies only have population growth because of immigration. You can look at GDP/capita, child mortality, Human Development Index, and you will see similar tendencies; that is, the more developed, the lower the population growth. India just barely stays above the bottom third poorest countries in the world (ranks 122 among 187 countries): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(PPP)_per_capita The average person in the richest 16 countries have incomes of at leat 7 times that of the average Indian even when adjusted for prices (GDP/capita PPP).

I agree with the fertile land point in this video but asides that, Asia has been a commercial hub for millennia before the industrial era. Places like the middle east to China to India were big places, rich places filled with rich cultures and traditions. Probably humanity started in the Asian province before migration due to what happened in Babel. Somehow humans started speaking in various tongues thus migration started.
India and China are both very diverse areas where there's many different languages and ethnic groups. They just like the EU if it federalised. If you broke down each province/language/ethnic group in India and China, each group would fit much more ordinarily on the list of most populous countries.
People in China range from Koreans, to Uyghurs, to Tibetans, to southern Cantonese speakers, Wenzhounese, Northern Han, etc, etc.. Each of those groups look and sound as different as Greeks to Norwegians to Turks. Even people from different villages can't understand each other unless they use their national lingua franca which is Mandarin, which is used for that purpose.
Same here in India
The common language lingua franca here is Hindi
Rice: it has an incredibly high yield for a given land area, with relatively fast growth (up to 3 harvests per year in India); however, it's also extremely labor intensive. This means a small plot of land can feed a relatively large number of people, and a large number of people is needed to maximize its yield.
