Global Village

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 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 and all 6 would be from the United States.


• 80 would live in substandard housing


• 70 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

Sort of, but not quite.
