Most Common Face in the World - National Geographic

National Geographic Magazine released a video clip, below, showing the most "typical" human face on the planet as part of its series on the human race called "Population 7 billion."

The researchers conclude that a male, 28-year-old Han Chinese man is the most typical person on the planet. There are 900 million of them. No wonder I see so many on Wall Street :). Credit Suisse also released research that the fastest growing countries often DO NOT have the best performing stock markets over 10 year periods (bubble theory).

The image above is a composite of nearly 200,000 photos of men who fit that description.

Don't get used to the results, however. Within 20 years, the most typical person will reside in India.
