>The entire planet in 10,000 BC had less people than my B-tier city

>>18131830
This was probably before abos burned down all the forests trying to kill the kangaroos and shit and desertified the entire continent.
>>
>>18132033
No this happened 50,000-40,000 BCE when Neanderthals still existed
>>
>>18131830
The world didn't exist 12,000 years ago.

I think it can be quite possible. Aboriginal Australians were excellent hunter-gatherers even practicing forms of fire stick agriculture so in hunter gatherer days they could have demographic advantage over other continents which disappeared as agriculture spread out. They also live in Southern Hemisphere which seems to preserve primitive forms among humans, animals and plants back in the day and today

I mean I could kind of believe that. Before agriculture populations basically just came down to how abundant nature was around you, how much land there was, and how good your hunting skills were. Aborigines didn't have great land but they did have really good hunting skills and a lot of land regardless. I'm always kind of fascinated by how densely populated the Americas got so shortly after settlement, they seem like they were basically the hunter-gatherer equivalent of paradise. Most archeological evidence points to them having had absurdly high populations for non-settled peoples, I've seen estimates as high as 70% of humanity living in them before the dawn of agriculture.

>>18131830
I dont believe a single number on this chart.
what are any of its fucking sources. Like we dont have accurate population numbers for the world in 300BC much less 300AD. So how the fuck do we in 10,000BC.
>>
>>18132101
Trust The Science, you hateful bigoted chud.
>>
>>18131830
>fact
no, it's an estimate. A best guess based on archaeology and carrying capacity.

>>18131830
why was africa so empty?
>>
>>18133117
Africa was extremely underpopulated relative to its size prior to the 19th century, many have argue this is the actual reason they didn't build complex civilizations (outside of small Bantu city-states and fishing villages I mean) and not actually because of muh IQ
>>
>>18131830
There's zero chance North America was as populated as India and China, the cracksmokers who made this are retarded.
>>
>>18133123
You answered everything other than the questions he asked.
>>18131830
Interesting that the most populated places are the only places that birthed civilizations independentely.
>>
>>18131830
No fucking way the Americas had so many people in 10,000 BC.
>>
>>18133117
Africa was very inhospitable until the end of the 19th century
>>
>>18133514
Do you realize how many mammoths, bisons and ground sloths they had?
>>
>>18131830
The Earth is 6000 years old. You're talking out of your ass.
>>
>the Americas had 50%
I call bullshit
>>
>>18133514
>>18133604
The absolute numbers are almost certainly off but in terms of percentages it's probably decently accurate. See >>18132098, the Americas were basically perfect for hunter-gatherers.
