If the Earth\u2019s population shrank to exactly 100 people, with all existing human ratios remaining the same, what would we be left with?<\/p>\n

57 of those people would be from Asia.
21 would be from Europe.
8 would be from Africa.
14 would be from the Western Hemisphere.
50 percent of the wealthy would belong to only six people
70 people would be unable to read
1 person would have a college education<\/p>\n
