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.

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 world.

They have a lot more people today

because they had a lot more people a few hundred years ago

when the world began its period of modern and rapid population growth.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Global Landscapes Initiative is working to figure out how to keep feeding the world's growing population without harming the planet.

And the IPAMS 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.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
