INTRODUCTION:
Land and population are the two fundamentals of human existence through the millennia. Each of them has a variety of types or characteristic. In chapter One we described various types of lands. In chapter two we describe various types of populations and analyze how various types of populations affect, what is yet to come in Chapter Three, dealing with Economy, and in Chapter Four, dealing with Politics.
We will demonstrate through examples how the significance of various types of populations changes over time. The interplay of the four sources of power with each other in different over the technical, social and political periods (timelines) of history is what some political scientists have called as the ‘drama of world politics’.
EXAMPLES:
In the next section of this Chapter, we will give three examples to further examples are based on the data drawn from the G & G Global Barometer of Facts and Opinions. The examples are meant to provide practical instruction in how to use the Global Barometer for Social Research in general and Global IR in Particular.

Population Trends across the worlds’ Continental zones and economic zones (three times)
Query 1: What Percent of the world’s population resides in the Afro Asia continents and Euro-American continents respectively? How have these ratios been changed over short centennial history (100 years or less) or long millennial (1000 years or less)?

Glossary of Population Indicators
Population, total: Total population is based on the de facto definition of population, which counts all residents regardless of legal status or citizenship. The values shown are midyear estimates.
