National Geographic magazine continues a yearlong series examining the specific challenges and solutions we face as the worldwide population reaches 7 billion people in 2011 with a March story looking at humans' massive impact on the planet (http://bit.ly/if9gey). Also in the March issue is "The Surprising Face of Seven Billion," a poster showing a composite face of the world's most typical person. Other stories will follow throughout 2011. To encourage discussion around the issue of population, National Geographic and the Aspen Institute are organizing the Aspen Environment Forum from May 30 - June 3, 2011.

7 milyar nüfuslu bir dünyada

en yaygın olan kimdir?

dünyanın en yaygın kişisi

is right

earns less than 12,000 dollars a year

It has a phone

but does not have a bank account

less than 25% of noii owns

So how is done?

the most common person in the world is male

males are more numerous than females

(but only slightly)

the median age of the world population is 28 years

the largest ethnic group are the han Chinese

based on these characteristics

the typical person in the world is

a man 28 years of Chinese han ethnic group

There are more than 9,000,000 them

researchers have made "the media" of 190,000 their photographs

to create a composite image

This is the most typical human being in the world

But it wont be long

by 2030 this person will come from India

and the concept of "typical" is always relative

the typical Dutch tall is 5 feet and 11 inches

The Peruvian classic and 5 feet tall and 4.5 inches

In Japan the typical woman lives almost 86 years

in Afghanistan he lives 45 years

The typical American uses 100 gallons of water

per day for the domestic needs

in some parts of Ethiopia is consumption of 2.5 gallons

and some women spend 8 hours a day to pick it up

typical people can make choices

but they are not the same for all

and our choices make a big difference

When they are multiplied by 7 billion

7 BILLION-the amazing face of typical Human
