Think about the diversity

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 Phillip M. Harter, a medical dr. at 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 non-Christian

30 would be white

70 would be nonwhite

30 would be Christian

89 would be heterosexual

11 would be homosexual

6 people would possess
59 percent of the entire worlds 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
