An Earth Village of 100

If the Earth's 6 billion population shrunk to a village of precisely 100 people where all the existing human ratios remained the same, there would be:

• 57 Asians
• 21 Europeans
• 14 from the western hemisphere (both north and south)
• 8 Africans
• 52 females and 48 males
• 70 non-Christians
• 30 Christians
• 89 heterosexuals
• 11 homosexuals
• 6 people posses 59% of the entire wealth and all 6 would be from the US
• 80 live in substandard housing
• 70 are unable to read
• 50 suffer from malnutrition
• 1 is near death and 1 is near birth
• only 1 would have a college education
• 1 would own a computer

When you consider the world from a compressed perspective its easier to see the need for both acceptance, understanding and education.
