If we could shrink the earth's population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all the existing human ratios remaining the same, it would look like something like the following.
There would be:
- 57 Asians
- 21 Europeans
- 14 from the Western Hemisphere, (both north and south )
- 8 Africans
- 52 would be female
- 48 would be male
- 70 would be non-white
- 30 would be white
- 70 would be non-Christian
- 30 would be Christian
- 89 would be heterosexual
- 11 would be homosexual
- 6 people would possess 59% of the entire world's wealth ( all 6 would be from the United States)
- 80 would live in substandard housing
- 60 would be unable to read
- 50 would suffer from malnutrition
- 1 would be near death;
- 1 would be near birth
- 1 (yes, only 1) would have a college education
- 1 would own a computer
