Who are the most notable people in the world?
A new map reveals all
A new study has revealed the birthplaces of the most notable people in the world.
The study, which was published in the journal "Nature", used data from the Notable Names Database (NNDB) to create a map showing the birthplaces of over 40,000 people who have been deemed "noteworthy" by the database's editors.
The map shows that the most notable people in the world are born in a relatively small number of countries. The United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Russia are the top five countries for notable births, followed by Italy, Canada, Australia, Japan, and Spain.
The study also found that there are significant differences in the distribution of notable births across different regions of the world. For example, the United States has a much higher concentration of notable births than other countries in the Americas, while Europe has a much higher concentration of notable births than other regions of the world.
The study's authors say that their findings could help to inform decisions about where to invest in education and other resources that could help to produce more notable people in the future.
