If you could fit the entire population of the world into a village consisting of 100 people, maintaining the proportion of all the people living on earth, that village would consist of:
57 Asians
21 Europeans
14 Americans (North & South)
8 Africans.
There would be:
52 Women
48 Men
30 Caucasians & 70 non Caucasians
30 Christians & 70 non Christians
89 Heterosexuals & 11 Homosexuals
6 people would posses 59% of the wealth and they would all come from USA
80 would live in poverty
70 would be illiterate
50 would suffer from hunger & malnutrition
1 would be dying
1 would be being born
1 would own a computer
1 only 1 would have a university degree:

So there you have it.
