From National Geographic:
In a world of 7 billion people
who is the most typical?
the world's most typical person
is right handed
makes less than $12,000 a year
has a cell phone
but not a bank account (less than 25% of us do)
so what does he look like?
The world's most typical person is male
males outnumber females (but just barely)
the median age of the world's population is 28
the largest ethnic group is han chinese
based on these traits
the
most
typical
person
is
a 28 year old han chinese man
there are over 9,000,000 of them
researches averaged 190,000 of their photos
to create a composite image
Ah... but he won't be typical for long!
by 2030, that person will come from India!!
Haha!! Quite interesting eh! there is actually more to the video feed on the website which I've linked to the title. If you have time, have a go at it.
That's all for now!
Ciao.
p.s.: Here's to us and out individualities! Cheers!
