If Earth's population was shrunk into a village of just 100 people --- with
all the human ratios existing in the world still remaining --- what would
this tiny, diverse village look like?

That's exactly what Philip M. Harter, a medical doctor at the Stanford
University School of Medicine, attempted to figure out. This is what he found:



57 would be Asian
21 would be European
14 would be from the Western Hemisphere
8 would be African

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 percent 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 pregnant

1 would have a college education
1 would own a computer
