Population : One
I've linked to scrollable scale models of the solar system, a hydrogen atom, and the timeline of life. Here's yet another one. I'm sorry that I keep linking to these so often, but I think they're amazingly effective at putting things into proper perspective.
This one, called Population : One, represents each human as one pixel. Look at the tiny pixel that represents you and then scroll through the other 6.5 billion to see what a tiny, tiny part of the human population you make up. Very cool.
(It doesn't work very well in Opera or Safari.)
