If Earth's population was shrunk into a village of just 100 people- with all the human ratios existing in the world still remaining-what would this tiny, diverse village look like? That's exactly what Phillip M. Harter, a medical doctor at the Stanford University School of Medicine, attempted to figure out. This is what he found.
57 would be Asian.
21 would be European.
14 would be from the Western Hemisphere.
8 would be African.
52 would be female.
48 would be male.
70 would be nonwhite.
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 percent of the entire world's wealth.
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 pregnant.
1 would have a college education.
1 would own a computer.

The numbers on bottom do seem low but 100,000,000 out of 6,000,000,000 isn't even 1%. Makes sense!!

Interesting idea Anoop C R, because there are more stars in the universe than sand on all the beaches and deserts.
Makes you think about the big picture doesn't it.

The really worrying thing is when all the other 94 people want the same standard of living and the same kind of income as the 6 Americans. Then we're really stuffed...
