1
00:00:07,007 --> 00:00:09,635
In a world of 7 billion people

2
00:00:10,820 --> 00:00:14,339
who is most typical?

3
00:00:15,739 --> 00:00:19,030
The world's most typical person

4
00:00:21,676 --> 00:00:23,572
Is right handed

5
00:00:25,310 --> 00:00:28,000
Makes less than $12,000 a year

6
00:00:28,677 --> 00:00:31,262
Has a cell phone

7
00:00:31,415 --> 00:00:34,155
But not a bank account

8
00:00:34,478 --> 00:00:37,834
Less than 25% of us do

9
00:00:39,126 --> 00:00:41,407
So what does he look like?

10
00:00:42,376 --> 00:00:45,371
The world's most typical person is male

11
00:00:45,648 --> 00:00:47,683
Males outnumber females

12
00:00:47,683 --> 00:00:49,046
(but just barely)

13
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:55,798
The median age of the world's population is 28

14
00:00:56,675 --> 00:00:59,718
The largest ethnic group is Han Chinese

15
00:01:00,118 --> 00:01:02,162
Based on these traits

16
00:01:02,162 --> 00:01:04,970
the world's most typical person is

17
00:01:04,970 --> 00:01:10,118
a 28-year-old Han Chinese man

18
00:01:10,118 --> 00:01:13,728
There are over 9,000,000 of them

19
00:01:13,728 --> 00:01:19,389
Researchers averaged 190,00 of their photos

20
00:01:19,389 --> 00:01:25,299
to create a composite image

21
00:01:25,299 --> 00:01:31,881
This is the world's most typical person

22
00:01:31,881 --> 00:01:35,533
But he won't be typical for long

23
00:01:35,533 --> 00:01:43,724
By 2030 that person will come from India

24
00:01:43,724 --> 00:01:48,569
And typical is always relative

25
00:01:48,569 --> 00:01:51,083
The typical man in Holland is 5' 11"

26
00:01:51,083 --> 00:01:55,896
The typical man in Peru is 5' 4 1/2"

27
00:01:55,896 --> 00:01:59,924
In Japan, the typical woman lives nearly 86 years

28
00:02:00,709 --> 00:02:03,530
In Afghanistan, she lives 45 years

29
00:02:06,330 --> 00:02:08,959
The typical American uses 100 gallons of water

30
00:02:09,851 --> 00:02:13,151
at home per day

31
00:02:13,951 --> 00:02:17,351
In parts of Ethiopia, it's 2.5 gallons

32
00:02:17,382 --> 00:02:22,387
And some women spend 8 hours/day collecting it

33
00:02:22,864 --> 00:02:29,425
Typical people have choices to make

34
00:02:30,163 --> 00:02:34,648
But they're not the same for everyone

35
00:02:34,648 --> 00:02:38,662
And our choices make a big difference

36
00:02:38,662 --> 00:02:40,904
When multiplied by 7 billion

37
00:02:40,904 --> 00:02:49,963
7 billion - The surprising face of the most typical human
