Excuse me, if this is the wrong sub for this but I’m genuinly confused. According to [this graph](https://flic.kr/p/5T5hkE) I found by accident, the world population barely increased at all between 1300 and 1900. And then it suddenly took off like crazy. What caused this sudden fast increment of the world population?

Lots of advances but also this is exponential growth.
It’s like lily pads on a pond that double every generation.
The first day there is 1, then 2 then 4 etc. If it takes 100 days for the pond to be completely covered, when is the pond half covered? On the 50th day? No. It will be half covered on the 99th day. The graph will look like this.
