More about this programme: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00wgq0l
Hans Rosling's famous lectures combine enormous quantities of public data with a sport's commentator's style to reveal the story of the world's past, present and future development. Now he explores stats in a way he has never done before - using augmented reality animation. In this spectacular section of 'The Joy of Stats' he tells the story of the world in 200 countries over 200 years using 120,000 numbers - in just four minutes. Plotting life expectancy against income for every country since 1810, Hans shows how the world we live in is radically different from the world most of us imagine.

    It's called a logarithmic scale. Turns out they're used rather frequently. It makes proportionally larger changes more visible at smaller values, where on a linear scale the same change would be really tough to observe.

    I recommend learning more about when these logarithmic scales are used and why they are used. There's some pretty interesting stuff out there.

    Hmmm, though such a great drop started in 1939 and was at its greatest in 1941... turns out it isn't Germany.

    How did those 92000 cause such a great reduction in a life expectancy? I know this was nt the only mass killing in the in the Ukraine, but there was nothing like in Belarus. If anything, I suspect that this circle was actually Germany. People defending Berlin were mostly youngsters as almost all healthy adult population either were already in the army or dead.

    Though it may be puny, they were still a part of it, Einsatzgruppe D was the group that killed the *final* one in Vinnytsia, I didn't really need to bring it up just letting you know it's true.

    But there was no Ukraine back then, and even if it was, the country struck hardest by nazis was Belarus SSR, they lost 1/4 of their population - 2.5 to 3 mln people. Those puny 92000 is nothing.

    Australia and New Zealand. They were counted as Asian countries.

    Interesting ... how much of this progress has been dependent on cheap fossil fuels I wonder?

    Most likely, it was Rwanda, due to the civil war that lead to the death of about 10% of its population.
