Q1 left handed people aren't usually typical that surprised me because i didn't think there will be much difference between growing up left handed and growing up right handed
Q2 i think it would be a good choice picking india because they also have a lot of people so it will more likely be them
Q3 because they have a lot of people there could be more right handed people there
Q4 the how hard they work how much food they get the temperature could be the house they live in
it surprized me that males out number females and that less than 25% of the world does not have an bank account. Or the fact that people spend 8 hours a day collecting water. Around 2.5 gallons only and then u.s. uses up to 100 gallons of water its absulutly outstanding.
Yes definately its very fair because is all added up together to make a typical person but how could anyone be that they would have to be perfect which is impossible. This typical person isnt based on anyone its just draft but whats going to happen when girls overpower boys they will have to change the typical person. Personaly i wouldnt want to be the typical person because i wont feel different....
To think that in 20 years that indians will be the more typical person well theres nothing really to say. This is proberly so because again of the population in india there is a bigger chance of being typical. But is this because there will be more indians than chinese in 20 years?????
It depends on the popullation the ammount of money the country is say if you were in africa they have a big popullation but a rather poor which means africans can suffer from sickness making the lifespan of poor people shorter than countrys with people that are rich and have hospitals and medisins that can help with deises. Even in a small country like nz we are not poor so lifespans are longer and water is able to be used when ever.

THE AVERAGE AMERICAN USES 100 GALLONS OF WATER A DAY AND SOME OF ETHIOPIA USES 2.5 GALLONS =0. I'm gob smacked.
Thats a big difference and it really makes you think,if we were all a Ethiopian we could save allot of water.
I do reckon it was a valid way of judging it by the highest amount and its defiantly the best way i mean a really cant think of any other way of doing it?
Well maybe by 2030 India will have a bigger population than china or more people will be 23 or use there right hand im not 100% sure.
It could be because lifestyle or the food they eat or the places they live in.And i reckon the reason of the water usage could be the land and weather like it could be really hot and have little rain so you'd have not much water.

Which facts surprised you and why?I did not know he would not have a bank account or had a cell phone or even was a MALE!!!
Do you think National Geographic used a valid way of finding the most typical person? If not, what would have been a better way?
That is one way of finding him or her.Also statistics gathered from other countries helped.
Why will the most typical person come from India in 2030?
Because that is a fast populating area.
Why are the differences so huge from country to country in terms of height, life span, water usage etc.?
Because other countries do not have much water to spare because it is hot.poorer countries have less money avablie for the things like food and healthand basic living conditions.
By Emma Collins
wow i am cooldefide knowing that poeplo for 8 hours a day cliddind wath
HOW MUCH WATER THEY USE AND DONT USE
I THINK IT WAS A FAIR AND VALID WAY TO FIND THE TYPICAL PERSON
IN 2030 THERE MIGHT BE MORE PEOPLE IN INDIA THEY MIGHT HAVE RESERCH THAT THERE WILL BE MORE PEOPLE
MAYBE THE HEIGHT MAYBE TO DO WITH THE FAMILY. THE LIFESPAN IS PROBERLY TO DO WITH HEALTHY LIVING COUNTRY AND EATING RIGHT. WATER USAGE MIGHT BE ABOUT WHEATHER.
WOW I NEVER KNEW the most tipical person was a boy.
i was absoloutly amazed that some amricans use 100 gallons of water when ethopian girls spend 8 hours a day gathering water. there is definatly some wasting water in the world we could save so much water. i thinkn we should use as much water as ethopians
BY EMILY HARRISON
Wow!!!!!!!!! that's probably 1 of the most amazing things I've seen on the internet.the thing that really surprised me is that a person in U.S.A uses 100 gallons of water EACH DAY & etheopia uses 2 gallons and they have to find it for hours & hours. National Geographic used a good & very simple way of showing the most typical person.
Maybe the worlds found out that the indians are growing a bigger culture and by 2030 their culture will be bigger than the chinese.
If you look at Africa their country is blooming big but its sooooo poor. well actully japan is just a bit bigger than NZ and they've got over 100,000,000 people and compere that to NZ's 4 million.

it surprized me than the most tyipcal person a man and he did not have a bank account and he has a cell phone .
i think they used a good and fast way to find the most tyipcal person because they are simple qeustions
in 2030 there is a big chance for india to have the most typical person because they might have more people then china in 20 years
it really depeneds on how poor or wrich your country is or how dry or wet your country is .some countrys get more rain so they get more water some countrys get not much rain so they have to look further .

Q1:Its amazing that the average person has a mobile phone but not a bank account.
Q2:Yes because it sounded very formal and it souned true because because i know that china has the most people in there contery in the world.
Q3:Because it is a fast populateing contery.People are migreting there or getting born there andits catching up to china.
Q4:Their are meany resons why some conterys have more water are taller or have biger life span.There contery could be welth so it keeps there people healthy. Could be hard to find water or they could be under war. so that is why some conterys have more water,are taller or have longer life span.
By lucas.

BY HARRISON
i don't believe it 100 galleons that is what the typical american uses i still don't get how they made that prediction
I was suprised that the typical person has a cell phone but not a bank account.I think they used a valid way of working it out.Cause they all look the same to us.Maybe its because of the amount of knowledge they have.
Jeremy
Wow it's weird that the most typical man has a cellphone but dosnt even have a bank account
I don't think there is any other way to do it so probably yes that would be the best way to do it
Maybe indias population is slowly getting bigger by people immigrating from china to india and more people getting born there.
If the country's had more doctors and you had more money you would have a longer life and probably grow taller and stronger.some country's don't have much rain and so there wouldnt be as much water
The one above is imis

The amount of water people use a day in America. That in Afghanistan the average women only lives to 45.
Yes because they have spent hundreds of years finding this information.
Because they said that they will be relatives.
Because there is a different lifestyle in every country.
the fact that most suprised is that the typical man is chinese.
Yes they have worked on it 4 ages.
there r lots of people in india.
every country is different.
by rylee
I had always wanted to know who was the most tipical person in the world but the thing that surprised me most is that the average woman in Afganistan only lives to the age of 45
Probably because how else would you do it.
Because of the population geting bigger
Because each country has a different way of life.
Micky
The most tyical person is from india.
It was not. They should of asked people.
Because india has a big population.
Maybe because of knowledge they have.
