I think this is misleading. It says "World Population," but it shows only regions' population as a percentage of the world total.

Where can I find a graph (and spreadsheet) that gives the world population estimation for every year from now back to... whenever (at least 1900, i would imagine).

Beware

The X-scale changes 50:1 past 1950, so beware when reading. ~

Readability

I hate to be whiny, but this graph is really quite difficult to read for the color blind, even those such as myself with a very mild case. Textured lines alleviate this; so would increasing the thickness of the key or choosing a wider variety of brighter colors. If someone could provide the data, I wouldn't mind taking this on myself.

Improvement Suggestion

It should definitely be on a logarithmic scale. I can re-render it (as SVG) on a logscale, if I can find the raw data. 82.81.13.73 (talk) 07:18, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
