If the World were Represented by 100 people this is What it Would Look Like

 

Earth’s population recently surpassed 7 billion people and that number is still growing.

Below I have compiled the statistics on 100people.org into 14 image macros that will hopefully help you visualize and understand the Earth and the people who inhabit it.
