I personally find this particular topic very hard to comprehend, at this point in time, the population on earth, the planet we live on is about 7.8 billion people, it definitely is a huge number, but when you think that only 224 years ago, the population was around 1 billion its quite frightening to realise the dramatic growth. Parts of the Asian continent are more responsible for this when you understand that the population of China and India equate to about 2.9 billion people. So this roughly means that 37% of the world population is S.E Asian, and the population of Asia as a continent is about 4.6 billion . I've documented this fact, not to criticise or condemn Asia because in reality the world is still a hugely unpopulated place. Now I can understand that most readers will be disputing my statement, but stop for a minute and think about it.
