If the world were 100 people

It's difficult to see the whole picture if you're thinking of the world to scale.  Millions of people going about their day to day lives.  Different religious beliefs, different languages, some privileged whilst others are not.  So I found this for you.  It's pretty interesting.  Imagine the word condensed into a little village of 100 people.  What would you have?
