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.

Look at all those interesting oscillations in the life expectancy of certain countries in the 19th century.
We must remember folks, 2 things:
1) A bucketload of the "data" is just pure speculation as systematic, comprehensive scientific data pooling of large national populations is a relatively recent thing (like maybe 100 years).
2) The "income per person" is just GDP/population. This doesn't mention distribution of wealth, thus a relatively high up nation could have millions starving.
