100 People... If we could shrink the earth's population to a village of 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. Of these, 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. Six people would possess 59 per cent of the world's wealth and all six 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.
