World’s Population In a Nutshell
You may have seen this before, but it’s something that really makes me think every time I see it, so I thought I’d pass it along.
This data originally came from an email that has been passed around the internet for some time now. However, snopes.com has done research on it and fixed the original incorrect numbers, which I’ve posted below. See the research, and the original data, here.
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:
60 Asians
12 Europeans
15 Western Hemisphereans:
(9 Latin Americans/Caribbeans, 5 North Americans, 1 Oceanian)
13 Africans: 13
50 would be female
50 would be male
73 would be non-white
27 would be white
67 would be non-Christian
33 would be Christian
97 would be heterosexual
3 would be homosexual
33 would live in substandard housing
16 would be unable to read
33 would suffer from malnutrition
