Alguien se ha dedicado a poner los nombres de gente importante en el mapa según dónde nacieron. Me ha hecho mucha gracia ver que en un zoom relativamente lejano sale “Longinos Navás”, que nació en LO Poble.

Vivimos tiempos maravillosos. Ni Leonardo da Vinci supo imaginar las cosas que el crowdsourcing nos permitiría compartir.
Claro que la definición de “gente notable” tb tiene su qué, me resulta interesantísimo ver cosas como esta:
“From Dark Ages to the Modern age: the rise of notable women
Figure 3 reports the time evolution of the share of female individuals. It exhibits a U-shape pattern with a local minimum at around 5–10% of female individuals around 1750. At the end of the observation period, the share of female individuals ranges between 20% (Africa) and 30% (Asia and Oceania). The main reason for this rising share in the database is the growing influence of two categories, Sports and Culture, that are much more balanced across genders than categories such as Governance/Executive and Academics. If the share of women is higher in the English edition over the entire sample period (see statistics in Table S4), the Western non-English edition further mitigates the bias after 1950, with a sample average close to 27% of women, as opposed to a 22.5% in the English edition.”
