The mostly unrelated world population density map [1] really distracted me, partly because of how entirely wrong it is.
The map is actually of the populations of countries, not of world population density as claimed in the caption, and it's pretty aggressively thresholded, too. A density map would look something like [2], which is so dissimilar as to undermine any conclusion the reader might have drawn.
