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 Puts things in perspective eh? The US is a pretty damn good country after all.

Very interesting...it's too bad that one third of the world's population lives in two countries where living conditions are subpar.

Someone in another forum researched this and found that much of it is false. Don't remember which parts.

Also, I think there are far too many Europeans in that. And there are far too few Christians. I can't remember if there were 1 bil or 2 bil Catholics alone, then you need to add all the Protestants. So yeah, some of it's off, but it's interesting to see it in perspective.

I think that statistic about Africa is wrong (8 out of 100). There are about 1.5 billion Africans and less than 1 billion North Americans and Europeans combined.
