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 this:
- 57 Asians.. 21 Europeans.. 14 from the Western Hemisphere
(north and south)..8 Africans.
- 52 would be female.. 48 would be male..
- 70 would be non white, 30 white
- 70 would be non Christian, 30 would be Christian..
- 59% of the entire world's wealth would be in the hands of
only 6 people and all 6 would be citizens of 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..
- Only 1 would have a college education.
- 1 would own a computer
