Year of the Pigs
06Apr07
While researching for some historical maps, I came across this Map of World Production of Hogs from U of South Florida’s interesting site. Well, it seems that China did have a disproportionate number of pigs, so there’s actually a good reason for naming this the Year of the Pigs. But then, giving the population density then (and now), one really shouldn’t be too surprised at the outcome. I’m just curious as to where the underlying data came from, as this one was made in 1922.
