This is where the 60% of the world that don’t have the Internet live McKinsey & Company This map, created by consulting firm McKinsey & Company using data from the World Bank, shows where the roughly 4 billion people around the world who aren’t connected to the Internet live. And it might surprise you. While it often seems like the whole world is connected these days, the reality is that around 60 percent of the world still doesn’t have access to the Internet. Three quarters of the world’s offline population live in just 20 countries - including India, Russia, Nigeria, Brazil and, surprisingly, the US, where one in five Americans don’t have the Internet. But things are changing quickly. With Internet access now being a key indicator of someone’s economic prospects, both of these ambitious projects are important to help bring the majority of the world into the future and provide them with equal opportunities.

Over 16,000 pages of Darwin's research on evolution released online This week, 155 years ago, Charles Darwin published a book that would change science forever - On the Origin of the Species. Over the past seven years, the American Museum of Natural History's (AMNH) Darwin Manuscripts Project has been digitising all of Darwin’s original notes and musings on evolution so they can be freely distributed online. Today, the manuscripts project reached the halfway mark by releasing over 16,000 high-resolution images of Darwin’s research on evolution to the public. The AMNH says the documents released "cover the 25-year period in which Darwin became convinced of evolution; discovered natural selection; developed explanations of adaptation, speciation, and a branching tree of life; and wrote the Origin”. "Darwin's work in creating the Origin of Species encompassed much more than just setting pen to paper and writing the epochal book," Darwin Manuscripts Project Director David Kohn said in a press release.
