Underrated comment. Given that African population is rocketing towards a projected 2 billion, while Asian birthrates are dropping thru the floor (even India is now only at replacement), the data from this map must be out of date.

It might be just a map of present population. So, births in the last 85 years, roughly, although migration would noticeable source of error without adjustment for regions like North America.

Yes, there is approximately 100% chance that that is what it is. But let's not allow that detail to spoil the fun.
