    I’m not so sure I would trust any statistics from a map that’s missing New Zealand.

      11 people were born there. That’s a ~0.00000000133649348822 chance. Small but not impossible.

      A very rare prize for sure, but is it very valuable too? Considering the wildlife there I’m not so sure.

    How about chances of being born in the ocean, or even on this planet?

      We’d need data on beings born on other planets to determine that. Currently there’s a 100% chance that you were born on this planet if you’re a human.

        if you’re a human.

        You can leave this out, unless we are considering fission “born”. Even experiments like ant colonies in orbit are arguably within the confines of earth. Unless we want to start defining “on” in which case I posit that a baby born in an airplane is not born a citizen of earth.

          You can leave this out

          No, because it’s highly likely that organic beings are born all the time on other planets out there. That was an impersonal “you.”

          If you’re born in Earth’s atmosphere, I would consider that being born “on” Earth.

            My point was that we know of no other organic beings beyond our planet, so all known life is born on earth.

              I was referring to all life that’s born in general, not just what we know. Our knowledge is extremely limited.

    It would be nice if there were a year attached to this. Is this supposed to be based on the current day? Or was this map put together several years ago?

    There should at least be a decade listed, as birth trends today aren’t going to be identical to trends from the recent past. For example, China only ended their “one child policy” in 2016. If this map were made before that, it might need an update by now.
