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 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% of the entire world's wealth and all 6 would be from
the U.S.A.
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 would have a college education
1 would own a computer
