One very crucial point that the video missed out is the closely knit family ties in that region. All the Chinese, Indian, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Japanese, Filipino etc are practicising the same thing. With close kinship, the families tends to look after each other, thus reduce accidents, save lives. This guaranteed the survival of the individuals, with more people living to adulthood. When they are an adult, the kinship will also force them to reproduce so as to have the manpower to feed the elders. This is very different from the culture of the other continents where some of the family members or entire families will have to leave the main group due to food shortage or other reasons.

It's not just rice as a food source, but the fact that they're grown in pretty fertile areas. The various rivers flowing through China and India, in addition to Bangladesh and the Mekong flowing through the various South-East Asian nations provide fertile valleys and water for growing food. On top of that, many of the Indonesian islands included in the circle have volcanic activity that also provides fertile soil for growing food. This is also helped with most tropical or sub-tropical sunlight exposure throughout the region to provide energy to the crops.

One major point you have missed. Even in Indian subcontinent (pre-British colonial period), undivided Bengal has highest and densest population within that circle. The reasons are: 1. Highest yield of rice production (Ganges delta), 2. Highest Jute production, 3. Wealthiest proto-industrial economy- including high end clothes (maslin) and spices. Bengal was epicenter of economy of Mughal Empire so that it could run the entire area. GDP of Bengal was greater than GDP of Europe and North America together. This economic boom between 15th to 17th century resulted a population surge in Bengal. However after British Invasion in 1757, the economy of Bengal was destroyed by rapid de-industrialization. At the peak of the Mughal Empire, it made up about 24% of the entire world's GDP About 40% this wealth came from the Subah (province) Bengal alone.

Rice has another advantage over wheat in that you can grow it in the side of mountains which are everywhere. wheat and barley can only really be grown on plains as the ground needs to have good drainage and it needs to be regularly ploughed. This means that while you could theoretically grow grains on mountain terraces, it's just not economically viable to do so. This is why the mountains of the Mediterranean were usually planted with olive trees and the mountains of northern Europe were often planted with fruit trees (if used at all). Other staple crops that can be grown on terraces (corn/maize and potatoes) did not make it to Europe until the 15th and 16th centuries so the population in Europe did not really explode until the advent of mechanized farming, land clearing and the introduction of additional staple crops from the new world. And of course the near constant warfare also helped to keep the European population low.

I've tried to calculate that before. But you really do need to take into account climate as well. I'm pretty sure that the drier parts of the US midwest (ex western Nebraska) would have quite a bit lower yields in terms of calories per acre than say, southern Indiana or the Mississippi Delta. And the Mississippi Delta probably has quite a bit higher calorie yields per acre than say, the Fox River Valley of Wisconsin. Some of those glaciated soils (like in WI) are quite fertile, but I think the longer growing season of the sub-tropics outweigh those benefits. Also non-arable land can sometimes support a fair bit of people - pastures and orchards for instance are usually not included in arable land area. Anyways, the US Midwest can definitely support a lot more people than it currently has. This includes states like Iowa and South Dakota, but also more densely populated states like Indiana and Ohio. The Canadian Prairies are also major food exporters, especially Saskatchewan.

Java island alone has 45 active volcanoes that erupts every few years or so, making the lands around it very fertile, water are abundant and everywhere, its easy to grow crops. Even in the big city where i live in, Jakarta, there are three fruiting trees in my front yard, we just harvested rambutan fruits a few days ago, and Jackfruits usually later, it’s far from the fertility of the rural areas but we still can harvest fruits, and the trees here grows taller than my house

In 1400, that circle over Asia probably contained 70% of the world's population and roughly 70% of the world's economy, which is way more than today. This is the reason why European explorers and monarchs were so eager to get to that Asian circle in the 1400s and the 1500s--they wanted to plug themselves in to 70% of the world's economy and the vast riches it generated. Even in 0 AD, I would be confident in saying that that Asian circle probably contained 50% of the world's population, as India was the most populous region in the world in 0 AD and China was the second most populous region. The Roman-dominated Mediterranean was the third most populous region.

Civilizations don't "choose" their mother grains, nature does most of that for us. A government can't just say "okay, we're going with rice now--plant it in the wheat fields". Wheat, rice, barely, etc. grow best in different regions. Because China and India are largely tropical river basins rice is naturally abundant there. In the semi-arid plains of Northern China, wheat grows best.

I'm pretty sure the circle is older than that. I remember this circle from I THINK early secondary school, maybe even primary school, which will have been around 2010, and it was in a Dutch atlas that was out for several years at that point. I don't have it here though (my parents might have it still), so I can't say for sure when it was published. EDIT: Have sent my dad a message to check, but good chance he won't be able to find it as they've been reorganizing the entire house. If he can find it, I'll edit this message with the release date of the atlas and it's exact name. EDIT2: It appears my parents no longer have the atlas. However, I see at least one person in the reply section here has corroborated that this fact was also known to them before the first date mentioned in the video (2005 in their case).

Another point about rice cultivation is that it's very labour intensive. So the more people you have, the more rice you can grow. Which, in turn, feeds more people. It's a self fulfilling cycle really.

I live on the island of Java. There's so many people that each city feels like whole countries and yet most of the island is too mountainous for human settlement so you get highly populated urban areas surounded by highly productive farmland in flat valleys surounded by pristine mountians. No wonder hiking and camping are so popular Even yet, there seems to be no limit to growth with housing continuously expanding while agriculture moves to other islands. The government predicts that in 2045, the metropolitan area of Jabodetabek and Bandung will merge into a mega metropolitan covering almost the whole of West Java and become home to 70 million people, becoming the largest city on Earth

LOL can't wait for the "Choose Rice" tshirts and bumper stickers to come out! 8^)

This analysis could have gone deeper, for a start there was little mention of the climates of South & East Asia, the soil types, how rice cultivation works, the societies that developed to encourage the cultivation of higher intensity crops, the countervailing climates that existed in western eurasia at the time that prevented the adoption of rice themselves, climate change in early Mesopotamia that stunted the potential adoption of rice production, the fact that rice originated in South East Asia, the proximity of east asian populations to significant mountain ranges especially the himalayas allowing for better soil quality and regular flooding. The himalayas after all emit the most large river systems out of any mountain range, the Indus, Bhramaputra, Ganges, Mekong, Pearl, Red, Yangtse and Yellow rivers all emanate from here, and many of the island systems in this area benefit from being highly mountainous thereby reducing the potential for conflict and thereby unexpected death and also giving small valleys lots of quick running rivers and volcanic soil and natural defences - perfect for fostering large valley towns. There is also no mention of the relatively low adoption of meat as a resource which takes up land inefficiently or the higher quality of fishing grounds around the rough asian coastline.

"While the United States just simply didn't exist yet". Yup, there was a vast ocean inhabiting where the United States is today which made it impossible to raise crops and grow the population. Great explanation.

The coral triangle is also entirely (almost) inside this circle. This area is so fertile!

Southeast Asians are the only ones who have access to rice because it has perfect lands to farm rice.

As some PPL mentioned rice eating or arable land is not cause of high population but result of other main factor. The Himalayas. The Himalayas and it's result Tibet plateau, stores lot of fresh water which it releases in 5 massive river valley. I.e indus river valley, Ganges-Brahmaputra, Mekong, Yangtze and yellow river valley. Plus 2 smaller but still big river valley irrawady and Chao phraya. These big river valley enable rice cultivation and fertile sediment from Himalayan river increases arable land in india and china. Infact geologically, entire country of Bangladesh is built on sediment deposit of Ganges delta. I.e. it was below sea before himalayas came into being. On top of that, Himalayas is cause of very strong Monsoon system in India , south east Asia and South China. Which repelinshes snow in Himalayan glaciers . And monsoon cause healthy rainfall in plateau of southern and central India which do not receive water from Himalayan rivers but monsoon still allows them to have big river valleys and arable land. Only exception to Himalayas theory is island of Java. It is fertile (hence populus )due to insane number of volcanoes in island. But these volcano also exist due to same factor which created Himalayas and Tibet I.e. Indian plate continued collision into Eurasian plate.

The north, North east and South East of Bangladesh consist of hill tracks that make up about 20% of the total land in Bangladesh. So there is a large variation in the topology of Bangladesh.
