[63] Population Distribution / 人口分佈, 1999

The world’s 6 billion people are by no means spread out equally over the globe’s territories – yet continental lines are easily identifiable since people seem to prefer coastal regions for settlements. More than half of the world’s population lives on a relatively small territory spreading from northern India to China.

全世界60億人口並非均勻分佈在全球各地，不過，地理分界線清楚易見，因為人們似乎比較喜歡定居在沿海地區。全球一半以上的人口居住在相對之下較小的陸地上，從印度北部擴散至中國。
