- Africa is a HUGE continent, and it’s hard for most people to realize just how massive it is. Looking on a map, its size seems pretty unimpressive, and it looks to be a similar size to Greenland, but in reality, the continent is more than 14 times larger.
In fact, Africa is so large that the countries of China, India, Mexico, The United States, and Japan could fit inside it, with plenty of room to spare.
But, it’s land area isn’t the only thing that's massive, because Africa is also home to 1.4 billion people, a massive number which is expected to increase to 4.3 billion by the year 2100.

As an African man, it perplexes me how vast our family is and we not recoup together in this modern day. It doesn't make sense. We deserve better. 😮
Family meaning Africa? When have Africans ever been united to "recoup"? It's too diverse and different. A guy from Finland and woman from Hawaii are more related than you to someone
500 miles away.
I feel it is a bit racist to think that Africa should only be for Africans. Likewise for all other countries. The UK has an Indian Hindu PM. Europe has taken in a lot immigrants from Africa and Asia.
However on your point about the African people not helping their own African brothers and sisters....that is true. I visited Kenya about 15 years ago. The Kenyatta family was ruling the country. They are an extremely wealthy family and live in extreme luxury almost like royalty. However I also visited one of the largest slums in Africa and it was heartbreaking to see so much poverty. I thought the Africans threw the Whites out because they felt that the Whites were living large and the poor Africans were suffering...and all that is true. However today Africans are doing the same thing!!! These super rich Africans are living large while their own brothers and sisters are dying from poverty!!! Why don't they feel for their own kind???
Like I said, in the past the Africans resented the Whites and would murder them any chance they got, like Mau Mau would slaughter White farmers and stick their heads on gate posts on their farms.
But today Africans do not resent the Africans that are living it up thru corruption or whatever. They don't feel they have to slaughter these super wealthy Africans like they did to the Whites. Yet the Whites developed their country like Nairobi is a well laid out city all done by the British.
The point is Africans view Whites as racist but who are the real racists??? Africans are okay if the super wealthy continue to exploit them but God forbid that person happens to be a different race!!!
Even slavery is blamed on the White man only....yet history excludes the fact that it was Africans who were capturing other Africans and selling them as slaves to the Arabs who in turn sold them to the White man.
It is high time racism is pointed in the other direction.
The Asians were kicked out of Uganda. But today their own people are exploiting them and they are perfectly okay with it. Zimbabwe just stole the land from farmers that tended to have White skin. But their own Africans will exploit them and it is perfectly okay with it.
So who are the most racist people on the planet today???
@@Dan-xx5jq Your argument is ridiculous and quite telling. When it comes to Africa it is open for everyone, yet European countries and their resources are seen as exclusive to Europeans. You don’t come for China or India’s resources. All others think they have a claim to Africa. This imperialistic and parasitic mindset is dangerous and keeps Africa impoverished. Africa for Africans!

Also Africa is the most genetically diverse place in the world. Africans are more related to people outside of the continent than they are to each other. There's so many ethnic groups in Africa, no wonder Africa has been so slow to develop. It's hard to form centralized governments when there are such great divides in ethnicity because for some reasons groups of human beings have a hard time treating each other with dignity and respect.

I believe this map discrepency comes from the scaling used, maps that show greenland as unusually large is using the Mercator projection, if you want a more accurate depition of Africa's size compared to other continents the Robinson projection does a better job, altho in the Robinson projection the closer you get to the poles the more slanted/distorted the countries look in order to try and replicate the shape of the earth... so regardless of which map projection is used, neither Mercator nor Robinson are truly accurate.

I believe Africa is the future. As population is aging in northern first world countries.
With that size, amount of people and resources it'd give so much to the world if everywhere was well developed, so much potential.
It is the future. It was the past too. As the world would not have gotten this far without Africa.
Every other land superficially and artificially grew themselves off of Africa’s blood.
Now Africa is forecast to overtake the world in almost everything. In having the largest lowest population average age in the world, the most resources still even after being bled for centuries, forecasted to overtake many of the worlds top economies (already securing many spots for the worlds fastest growing economies).

Africa will be overpopulated
When there are no people living on the land it is easier to steal natural resources.
India does have a massive population but it's not larger than Africas and while the continent as a whole is far from overpopulated, many of Africa's cities are growing at a rate that is frankly unsustainable. There's simply not enough jobs, homes, nor public services built out yet to keep up with the massive population growth ocurring in most cities around the continent.
The reason why so many countries fits inside of Africa is because Africa is a continent, not a country when you do this put other continents inside Africa to see how big it is
Well, not "so many" Russia, China, India + Japan= the tot. of these 4 countries= size of Africa. + prob Brunei....
Idk why they treat Africa like a country 😢
The "middle east" is actually apart of African as well . That is before the building of the Suez Canal in 1869 which now creates a border between Africa and "Middle east". Before that the "middle east: was called Africa (Fun fact Israel ^^^ did not become a country until 1948)
If I just look at my home country (South Africa) it's amazing how much more geographically diverse it is compared to other countries.
From forests, mountain, desserts, savanna, tropical areas, beaches, gorges, warm sea, cold sea the list goes on. My one country in Africa is like a world in one country, so I can just imagine how impressive the greater continent is.

The reason for the size differences is because of something called «projection».
In this instance, the maps he is referring to is called the «Mercator Projection».
This map type is the most widely used one today. The size distortions are very misleading, however there is a reason for it; This map type was used for sailing.
There are plenty more types of projections that focus more on depicting accurate size-ratios, but the science of projection is very tricky.

Also, when people say "Africa", they mean sub-saharan Africa, which is still huge. Northern Africa is more Mediterranean geography.
And North Africa is closer ethnically to Europe and the middle East.
It’s still Africa.
@@noelgrippen4707 ????? You people get so triggered by us, we find you're insecurity amusing 😂 some of us really aren't fully HOMO SAPIENS, that triggered impulse to segregate yourself, is from another homind which I won't name,👹by the way Chad, Sudan, and Southern Egypt, Southern Morocco, Southern Libya and Mauritania are North Africa and are full of MOSTLY 💪🏿💪🏾🙄You are too committed to the mental neurosis to be embarrassed by your comment 😳👿
@@Ohemaa99 racism segregates always 😂😂😂 read their intentions in their comments.
@@noelgrippen4707 let's pretend North Africans are not Arabs😅😂😂😂
Africa is also home to the very first humans
Your so underrated
Africa is rich on resources
Hence all the exploitation
Which is why all the colonial countries took it for themselves to the detriment of the native peoples, felt to this day.
resources for 2.4 billions in 2050? I think that there it would be wars for resources and mass migration to the EU
Tourism plays a big part in Africa... The wild life attracts tourists which keeps africa running (not just that but mostly)
Americans:LES GOOOOOOO
I'm proudly African ❤😊
Glad we’re all on the same page with that being ‘big’
Americans finding out africa is a continent
Can you imagine what a power house Africa could be if they got rid of the corruption
Bro discovered map distortion today 💀💀💀☠️☠️
I love the part where he explains why this distortion is.
For those who don't know. It needs to be distorted because it's impossible to project a 3d object, like the earth, on a plain like the map. The mercator projection, the every day map shown here. Is pretty neat because every straight line will be equal to a compass direction at any point. The trade off is ofc the distortion.
"I didn't know that, they need to teach this in school."
It does need to be known that not all maps are like this. The map he is using is called the Mercator Projection. This map is a flat map that can be used for navigational purposes. This map has heavy amounts of distortion around the edges and it is a big box. Another map you might be more familiar with is the Robinson Projection. This will show minor amounts of distortion around the edges. However it isn't even, and it leads to a lot of curved borders that are actually straight. This projection is in an oval shape and it is the most common in classrooms.
All maps are flat, that's the point, you can't make one out of a sphere, which is why a globe exists. But we can't work with one
Thank you, I seriously get the impression that our dumpster fire of an educational systems natural inclination is to launch into “muh racism” diatribe typically without benefit of reason or logic.on basically everything.
Africa is STILL the second largest continent in the world. Take it or leave it. 😂😂😂😂
For those who dont know africa has 30.3M km land
