I was including the kids in my 1000 figure but not in the 2% - and still got it wrong, mind you, since I actually meant to say 1.5%, which is amusing, given that's what you came up with...

I'd suggest keeping the figure the same between primitive, nomad, barbarian and civilised cultures, for simplicity's sake and for the reasons you give.>>
I agree that that's the better and more likely option.
