A increasing minority. Less Europeans in the world by the end of the century.

The share of Europe’s (EU27) population in the world is shrinking, it decreased from 12% in 1960 to 6% today and it will fall below 4% by 2070 according to the projections. Even with the other European countries it will not exceed 6%/7% of the world population. The population of Africa, in the opposite direction, will increase from 9% in 1960 to a projected 38% in 2100. Asia will remain the most populated continent with 45% of the world's population in 2100.

I was browsing a library and found an a book from 1984 titled, "The Times Atlas of World History". In the section, "The origins of Man" I found it very interesting that even back then, way before aDNA, archeologists already noticed mixture between Humans and Neanderthals.

MCU Box Office and RT Ratings

I'm a huge Marvel fan. Phases 1, 2 and 3 of the MCU were fantastic. The Avengers and especially the Guardians of the Galaxy were the best. But since Endgame it seems like they've lost their way.
Post Engame, only Guardians vol 3 and Spider Man were worth it. All this messing around with the Multiverse isn't going to get them anywhere. They need to explore new paths.
There is talk of bringing back the X-Men and the Fantastic Four, Doctor Doom and even Galactus.
This would be a good way to go, especially if it included my favorite Marvel character, the Silver Surfer.
