Just 100 humans, in a village, in pictures

 

I am human, nothing human is alien to me

-Terence

If you ever need a reminder of how amazing, terrifying and polyglot our world is, artist Toby Ng has put together this beautifully simple series of prints, based on that much-touted breakdown of how the world would look as a village of 100 people.

Remember how I wondered what the world would be like if no creed had more than 15 percent of the population? We're getting there.

I know one language. I know it well, but looking at information like this, there's a part of me that always feels a little dumb. Goddamn, it's a huge world.
