A bivariate choropleth map uses color to represent various information. Here we see a map of Africa with the land use, life expectancy, and GNP per capita in 1989. It's interesting how the two regions of Africa that have the lightest skinned color of people (South Africa & the southern tip, and the area above the Sahara desert, including Muslim countries such as Morocco, Liberia, Algeria & Tunisia). I suppose it has something to do with these regions and it's inhabitants being more technologically advanced, and having lifestyles that revolve around the stationary lifestyle, such as agricultural farming, instead of being in a wandering hunter/gatherer tribe.
