"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 57 Asians...21 Europeans...14 from the Western Hemisphere, both north and south...8 Africans...52 would be female...48 would be male...70 would be nonwhite...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 percent of the entire world's wealth...80 would live in substandard housing...70 would be unable to read...50 would suffer from malnutrition...one would be near death...one would be near birth...one (yes, only one) would have a college degree...one would own a computer." -Dr. Phillip M. Harter of Stanford University
