The world's most typical human being is 28-year-old Han, a Chinese man who speaks Mandarin and owns a cell phone.
National Geographic found that the Hans are the world's largest ethnic group, 28 is the world's median age, and most people own cell phones.
The most typical face on the planet
In their huge study, the magazine also found that there are more men than women worldwide, but "just barely".
There are more right-handers than there are southpaws, and the average person makes less than $12,000 (Rs 5,40,000) a year.
Less than 25 percent of the world's population has a bank account.
Looking ahead, the study says that the 28-year-old Han man "won't be typical for long. By 2030, the most typical person in the world will be from India."
