If an Interplanetary Research Expedition flew to Earth for seven whole seconds, what would appear in their report? We don’t need to wonder any longer!
Earthlings is a collection – systematised and catalogued – of the most important information about our planet and ourselves. Reports tend to be boring, but this one will rivet your attention through its compelling form and fascinating statistics. We will learn what our planet looks like and who inhabits it. We will receive detailed information about the appearance of human beings and their habits. We will find out that this species’ most interesting trait is its variety. Regardless of whether we are right- or left-handed, short or tall, eat plants or insects, use the Latin or Chinese alphabet – we are a community numbering eight billion. We ought to care for the Earth and its inhabitants together, for otherwise the next research report won’t be so rich and varied.
