"Although people are found in nearly all parts of the world, very many more live in some parts than in others, A region very thickly peopled is said to have great density of population. In other regions one might travel for hundreds or even thousands of miles, seldom, if ever, seeing a human being or any sign that people live there. Such a region is said to be thinly peopled, or to have a sparse population." — Redway, 1898. The map includes the entire earth except Antarctica.
