Did you know . . .
that it we could shrink the Earth's population to a community of precisely 100 people, with all existing human ratios remaining the same, it would look something like the following?
There would be 64 Asians (including Russians), 10 Europeans, 14 from the Western Hemisphere, both north and south, and 12 Africans.
52 would be female; 48 would be male.
One third of the people in the community would be children.
70 would be non-Christian; 30 would be Christian.
20 people would possess 75 per cent of the wealth; another 20 would receive only 2 per cent of the wealth.
80 would live in substandard housing.
More than 30 of the adults would be unable to read.
One would be near birth; one would be near death.
One (yes, only one) would have a college education.
One would own a computer (and they would not be connected to the Internet).
