If we could shrink the earth's population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all the existing human ratios remaining the same, here's what you would have:
57 Asians
21 Europeans
14 from the Western Hemisphere (both north and south)
8 Africans
52 would be female
70 would be non-white
70 would be non-Christian
89 would be heterosexual
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
