Population of Eurasia - what is its total size? How is it distributed across the mainland? What nationalities inhabit it? You will receive answers to these and many other questions in our article.
Population of Eurasia: general theses
Eurasia is the largest continent on the planet both in terms of area and number of inhabitants. Structurally, it is divided into two parts of the world: Europe and Asia, which differ from each other in almost all demographic indicators. It is Eurasia that many scientists consider the ancestral home of all humanity: the civilizations that originated here played a significant role in the history of the world.
Before delving into the topic of the article, five main theses (postulates) should be noted. Here they are:
- The Eurasian continent is home to about 75% of the world's population;
- the population of Eurasia is represented by all three races of our planet;
- the ethnic composition of the continent's population is very diverse and motley;
- Eurasia is home to three of the world's largest religions;
- Most of the mainland's population (over 60%) lives in
Size and distribution of the continent's population
How many people live in Eurasia? And how are they distributed across the mainland?
The total population of Eurasia is 4.6 billion people! This, by the way, is three quarters of all the inhabitants of our planet. Moreover, it is distributed extremely unevenly across the continent. The average population density of Eurasia is about 90 people per square kilometer of area.
Vast expanses of the mainland (Siberia, the far north, the Himalayas and Tibet, the interior of the Arabian Peninsula and others) are practically uninhabited. In some areas, the population density can be as low as 1 person per square kilometer. At the same time, all of Western Europe, the coast of Southeast Asia, the island of Great Britain, etc. are very heavily populated. For example, the population density in Singapore is 4000 people/km 2 .
Below is a map of population distribution across the mainland. The more intense the color on it, the more populated a particular region of Eurasia is.
The population of Eurasia mainly lives in cities. In percentage terms, this is about 60% of all inhabitants of the mainland. Largest cities Asia is Tokyo, Shanghai, Beijing, Delhi, Dhaka, Mumbai, Istanbul, Karachi; Europe - Moscow, London, Berlin, Paris, St. Petersburg, Kyiv, Rome.
Population and countries of Eurasia
Within the continent today there are about 90 independent states. It is impossible to give an exact number, since there is a problem of identifying the independence of a particular country. For example, can Abkhazia, Transnistria or Kosovo be considered sovereign? Each researcher has his own opinion on this matter.
Below is a list of ten Eurasians.
It is worth noting that there is only one European country on this list (Germany). Therefore, it is not difficult to guess in which part of the world the bulk of the population of Eurasia and the planet as a whole is concentrated.
Political map of Eurasia
The political map of the continent began to form a long time ago, since ancient times. At that time, powerful states already existed in Eurasia. Among them are Ancient Hellas, Rome, China, India and others.
Modern political map Eurasia is represented by nine dozen independent countries. Among them there are huge powers (such as China, Russia or India), and very tiny states (Vatican City, Andorra, San Marino), which are also called “dwarf”.
In Eurasia, there is heterogeneity in the level of economic development countries and regions. The most developed countries on the continent include Japan, South Korea, Germany and the UK. At the same time, Asia is home to a huge number of “poor” developing countries (Vietnam, Myanmar, Bangladesh and others).
Demographic situation in Europe and Asia
Modern demographic processes are very different in Europe, and continental Eurasia is experiencing a number of acute problems today. Moreover, they are different in different regions.
Thus, in Europe, the birth rate has decreased noticeably in recent decades. The situation in modern Europe is also often characterized as a “gray revolution” or “aging of the nation.” The fact is that, against the backdrop of a decline in the birth rate, overall life expectancy here is increasing. Thus, in age structure The population of most European countries has seen an increase in the percentage of elderly people.
At the same time, in Asian countries the birth rate remains extremely high. In some regions, indicators natural increase can reach 20-30 people per 1000 inhabitants. These countries, on the contrary, are facing the problem of overpopulation and lack of resources (primarily food).
Conclusion
The population of Eurasia (as of early 2015) is 4.6 billion people. Most of it is concentrated in Asia, mainly on the coasts of the Indian and Pacific oceans. The population of Eurasia (over 60%) is predominantly urban. The continent's largest metropolises: Shanghai, Delhi, Tokyo, Istanbul, Dhaka, Moscow and St. Petersburg.
The populations and countries of Eurasia are extremely diverse. This continent is home to about a thousand nationalities who speak hundreds of different languages and dialects. It was here that three world religions were born: Islam, Christianity and Buddhism.
Eurasia is the most populated continent; its population accounts for three-quarters of the entire planet. Along with Africa, Eurasia is considered the ancestral home of humanity. Ancient civilizations that existed on the territory of this continent played a significant role in the development of mankind.
The racial and ethnic composition of the population of Eurasia is very complex, which is associated with centuries-old processes of migration of peoples as a result conquests, internecine wars, natural disasters, movements of national minorities, etc.
The population is quite diverse in terms of linguistic composition. IN Eastern Europe and live in Northern Asia Slavic peoples, and in Northern, Western and Southern Europe - peoples speaking the languages of the Germanic and Romance groups. In Asia, many peoples speak languages of the Altai language group, Indian and Sino-Tibetan languages. The peoples of South-West Asia communicate in Arabic and languages belonging to the group of Indonesian languages. Peoples who speak isolated languages include the Japanese, Basques, Armenians, Koreans, etc. The distribution of the population on the continent is extremely uneven.
The political map of the continent began to take shape a long time ago. In ancient times there were states Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome, China, India, etc. Modern peoples live within many countries, of which there are more than 70. There are countries that are large in area and population (Russia, China, India, Indonesia, etc.) and very small, dwarf states (Vatican, San Marino, Singapore, etc.). By level economic development countries are also heterogeneous. The most developed are Japan, Germany, France, Great Britain and Italy. Large group countries make up developing countries, located mainly in Asia. The continent's political map continues to change. In Southern Europe from the composition former Yugoslavia 5 states emerged in the territories former USSR More than 10 countries were formed.
The countries of Eurasia differ in the peoples inhabiting them, natural conditions, level of economic development. Countries of foreign Europe. The nature of this part of the continent is very diverse, and the lives of people in the countries are also different. Northern European countries. Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark and Iceland have seaside geographical position. To the nature of these countries big influence exerted by the Atlantic Ocean and its seas.
The Scandinavian mountains and the adjacent plains are composed of ancient crystalline rocks, their depths are rich in ore deposits. Rivers flowing from the mountains are rich in energy. Abundance of lakes and forests - characteristic feature nature of Sweden and Finland. Iceland is located in the subarctic zone, but nature “gave” it a lot of warm water in the form of geysers, and the inhabitants of the island learned to use it for heating their homes. The peoples inhabiting the countries of Northern Europe speak languages of the Germanic language group, and the Finnish language is close to Estonian, the language of the Karelians. The population of these countries is employed in industry (extracting oil on the shelf, metal ores, docking ships, producing paper, etc.), in agriculture (raising cattle), fishing, and transporting sea cargo.
Countries of Western Europe. The most developed countries in the world are located in this part of the region - France, Germany, and Great Britain. On a European scale this is large countries, they are inferior in area to Ireland, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, and the Netherlands.
Countries of Eastern Europe. This group of countries is located in the area from Baltic Sea in the north to the Black and Adriatic in the south, east of Germany and Austria. Within this territory are Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, a number of countries of the Balkan Peninsula, as well as countries that separated from the USSR: Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine and Moldova. The nature of countries has both similarities and differences. The northern part of the region is dominated by lowland plains, while the southern part is dominated by mountains. Some countries are rich in certain types of mineral resources (Poland, Hungary, Romania, etc.), while others are poor (Lithuania, Latvia, etc.).
Countries Southern Europe. They are located on large peninsulas washed by the Mediterranean Sea. The largest states here are Spain, Italy, Portugal and Greece. The nature, populations and economy of these countries have much in common. The most developed of these countries is Italy. It is relatively poor in mineral resources, but its people have created a developed modern economy. Most of The population works in factories and factories, they produce a variety of cars, chemical products, and there are modern ships. Agriculture is also well developed; wheat, rice, vegetables and fruits are grown. It is not for nothing that the country is called the “main garden” of Europe. Ancient cultural monuments and beautiful resorts attract tourists and vacationers here.
Countries foreign Asia. This huge region is very diverse in nature and population. There are both very large and very small countries here.
Countries of South-West Asia. The most big countries this part of Asia: Türkiye, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia. There are many small countries: Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Kuwait, etc. This also now includes Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan.
The topography of the countries of South-West Asia is dominated by highlands, mountains and plateaus; there are few lowlands. Mountain building is still ongoing, and earthquakes are frequent. Oil reserves are concentrated in the foothill troughs and on the platform. The prevailing subtropical and dry tropical climate. There is little precipitation, with the exception of the western part of Georgia. Surface water few. The largest rivers are the Tigris and Euphrates. Among natural areas zones of semi-deserts and deserts dominate, dry steppes, and very, very few forests.
The national composition of the population of the Near (or Middle) East, as this territory is also called, is diverse. Arabs, Jews, Turks, Persians, Georgians, Armenians and other peoples live here. The region in question is the birthplace of all three world religions. The majority of the population lives in rural areas, in river valleys and oases. Some countries are the largest suppliers of oil to the world market. It is supplied through oil pipelines to port cities, from where it is transported in tankers to various countries.
Countries of Central Asia. This large region The mainland is characterized by the monotony of nature, dryness, sharp continental climate, the predominance of dry steppes, semi-deserts and deserts. Plains and basins alternate here with mountains and highlands, isolating the territory from wet winds from the oceans. This part of Eurasia contains Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Mongolia and most of China. Countries of East Asia. This part of the mainland is located along the coast Pacific Ocean and stretches from north to south - from the temperate zone to the tropical zone. The most populated part of China, Japan, North Korea and the Republic of Korea are located here. The nature of these countries is diverse, plains predominate, but there are also mountainous areas.
Japan has many volcanoes and frequent earthquakes. The monsoon climate is generally favorable for development Agriculture. All suitable land is cultivated, the main crop is rice. Japan is one of the most economically developed countries in the world. The nature of the country is very picturesque, but poor mineral resources. The country imports a lot of raw materials and produces the most modern equipment, electronics, cars, ships, chemical products, and electronics. Two thirds of the country is covered with forest. The Japanese are very careful about nature. The seas that wash the country play an important role in the life of the population.
China is a huge country, its nature is unusually diverse, it is a multinational state (more than 50 nations). Most of the population lives in rural areas, but rapidly developing industry is increasing the share of the urban population. Countries of South Asia. Among the countries in this part of the continent, the largest is India, and the smallest is the kingdom of Bhutan in the Himalayas.
India is located in the center of South Asia. Large ones stand out natural complexes: Himalayas, Indo-Gangetic lowland and Deccan plains on the Hindustan Peninsula. The country is rich in mineral resources. Almost the entire territory is located in the subequatorial climate zone. The summer monsoon from the ocean brings a lot of moisture. India is mainly an agricultural country, but industry has been developing successfully in recent decades.
They grow rice, wheat, cotton, sugar cane, and tea bushes; factories produce metal, various machines and equipment, medicines, and fabrics.
The countries of Southeast Asia are located on the Indochina Peninsula and the islands that make up the Malay Archipelago. The largest countries by area: Indonesia, Laos, Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines. The smallest country in this region, Singapore, is located on an island in the Strait of Malacca. Indonesia stands out in terms of area and population.

Eurasia, like , is considered the ancestral homeland of man.
About 4.7 billion people live in Eurasia, which is 75% of the population of the entire Earth.
The mainland is huge. It has a variety of natural conditions, so the distribution of people across its territory is very uneven. Densely populated areas are located where favorable and fertile soils are combined. Such conditions in Eurasia are observed in the lower reaches large rivers Asia. Almost all of Europe is densely populated. The most populous country in the world is Monaco. There are more than 17 thousand people per 1 km2.
However, there are also sparsely populated areas on the mainland. These are mostly mountains and deserts.
The lowest population density is in Mongolia. 2 people live here per 1 sq. km.
At the same time, there are also almost deserted areas - these are Tibet, the Gobi Desert, numerous mountain systems and the Arabian Peninsula.
Speaking about the distribution of the population of Eurasia, one cannot help but recall giant cities such as Rome, London, Paris, Moscow, Shanghai, and Beijing.
Also on the mainland is the second largest city in the world - Tokyo - the capital of Japan, its population exceeds 20 million people.
The population of Eurasia varies significantly in terms of race and ethnic composition, nature of accommodation, types economic activity.
The racial composition is dominated by representatives of the Caucasian and Mongoloid races. Europe, South-West and South Asia are inhabited by Caucasoids, and Central and East Asia by Mongoloids.
Let's remember distinctive features representatives of every race. The northern branch of the Caucasian race is characterized by light skin color, soft hair, narrow nose, blue or gray eyes.
And representatives of the southern branch have dark skin, dark hair and brown eyes.
Representatives of the Mongoloid race usually have yellowish skin, coarse black hair, and black eyes. The face is wide with prominent cheekbones, narrow eyes.
There are 94 states on the political map of Eurasia.
The uniqueness of the Eurasian continent lies in the fact that the largest and smallest states in terms of population and size are located here.
China ranks first in the world in terms of population, India second. More than a billion people live in these countries.
And in Vatican City, the smallest state in the world, only 836 people live.
The largest country in the world by area is Russia. Its area is 17,098,242 km², which is 2 times larger than the area of the mainland Australia.
But the smallest state in terms of area is the Vatican. The area of the state is only 0.44 sq. km. The Vatican City is a dwarf enclave state (a state surrounded by another country) located in the northwestern part of Rome. The Vatican is surrounded on all sides by Italian territory. The total length of the state border is 3.2 kilometers.
Dwarf states include San Marino, Liechtenstein, Andorra, Malta, Singapore, etc.
By form of government, most countries in Eurasia are republics.
There are also monarchies on the mainland. There are 14 monarchical states in Asia, and 12 such monarchies in Europe.
The largest monarchies in Europe are Great Britain and Spain.
For most European countries characteristic high level economic development, characterized by high levels of income and quality of life of the population. These include the UK, Germany, France, Japan and many others. Manufacturing industries are concentrated in these countries.
At the same time, on the mainland you can also find extremely poor countries such as Nepal, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, etc.
If we characterize the relationship between urban and rural population, then Europe is a more urbanized part of the world than Asia. In Europe, the urban population accounts for 80% of the population.
Most Asian countries have a predominantly rural population. The urban population is only 34%. However, in countries such as Japan, Singapore, South Korea, the main population is represented by urban residents.
The peoples of Eurasia make up almost three-quarters of the world's total population. Lives on the mainland a large number of different ethnic groups that differ appearance, mentality, culture and language.
Each people of Eurasia belongs to a specific language family, which, in turn, is divided into groups. The speech of each people in the family is similar and comes from one common proto-language. Languages in the same group sometimes differ only in pronunciation or spelling.
Most languages were formed territorially. This explains the fact that different peoples Eurasians have almost the same or similar speech. There is a hypothesis that ancient people developed their speech by listening to the sounds of wildlife in the area, and therefore some languages are very similar to the sounds that animals make.
Classification of the languages of the peoples of Eurasia
To date, 7 language families have been recorded, which unite all the languages and dialects of the peoples living on the mainland. Each of these families is divided into linguistic groups of the peoples of Eurasia. There are 17 of them.
All languages are divided into:
1. Indo-European family:
- Slavic group (Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, Polish, Czech and Bulgarian);
- Germanic group (English, German, Norwegian and Swedish);
- Baltic group (Lithuanian and Latvian);
- Romanesque group (Spanish, Portuguese, French and Italian);
- Celtic group (Irish);
- Greek group (Greek);
- Iranian group (Tajik, Afghan and Ossetian);
- Indo-Aryan group (Hindustani and Nepali);
- Armenian group (Armenian);
2.Kartvelian family (Georgian).
3. Afro-Asian family:
- Semitic group (Arabic);
4. Ural-Yukogir family:
- Finno-Ugric group (Hungarian, Estonian and Finnish);
5. Altai family:
- Turkic group (Turkish, Kazakh and Kyrgyz);
- Mongolian group (Mongolian and Buryat);
- Japanese group (Japanese);
- Korean group (Korean);
6. Sino-Tibetan family (Chinese);
7. North Caucasian family:
- Abkhaz-Adyghe group (Abkhaz and Adyghe);
- Nakh-Dagestan group (Chechen).
How did the languages of the peoples of Eurasia develop?
The most ancient civilizations were created and developed on the Eurasian continent: India, China and Mesopotamia. They gave development to all other peoples, their states, culture, traditions and speech.
It did not stop, but people settled, exploring new lands, inventing new words and expressions. This is how language groups appeared, and then families. Each people of Eurasia developed the existing speech in its own way. People living in different places began to call the same things by different names. This is how dialects appeared, which then turned into full-fledged languages. Linguists divided all languages into families and groups for easier study.
Indo-European language family
The most numerous language family in the world it is an Indo-European family. These languages are spoken by many peoples of Eurasia.
This language family owes its popularity to its conquerors and pioneers. Indo-European languages were born in Eurasia, and it is considered the birthplace of all humanity, along with Africa. People explored new territories and captured the indigenous peoples of other continents, then imposed their culture and language on them. Each people of Eurasia at that time tried to subjugate more territories and people. Many scientists associate such a wide spread of Spanish, English and Russian with historical events.
How are Chinese and Japanese languages different?
A common mistake many people make is to assume Chinese and Japanese languages similar or almost the same. These two languages are in different language families for a reason. People living in Japan and China are completely different, although they belong to the same race. Each of these countries is a separate people of Eurasia, with its own culture and language.
If the hieroglyphs themselves that are used to write in these countries are quite difficult to distinguish, this does not mean that the languages are the same. Their first difference is that the Japanese write vertically, and the Chinese write horizontally.
To the ear, Japanese speech is much rougher than Chinese. Chinese filled soft sounds. Japanese speech is harsher. A deeper study will show that the words in these languages are different, as well as grammar and other rules.
Slavic languages
Slavic languages - language group Indo-European family. These languages are very similar. Speakers of Slavic languages can often understand each other almost without difficulty, while speaking different languages. This is especially true for Russian, Ukrainian and Belarusian speech.
They began to develop with the advent of the first Slavic tribes. Each tribe used its own dialect. The greater the distance between them, the more differences appeared in speech.
All Slavic languages are divided into eastern, western and southern. This division occurs territorially, just like the division of tribes.
Of the other representatives of the Indo-European language family, the closest to the Slavic is the Baltic group. Many scientists explain this by the long communication between representatives of these tribes.
Peoples living on the continent
In fact, there are a lot of peoples living on the mainland, but if we generalize, they can be conditionally divided by race into 2 groups: Caucasian and Mongoloid. And these groups, in turn, are divided into subgroups.
Caucasian race, consisting of the following groups:
- Slavic;
- Baltic;
- Germanic;
- Greek;
- Armenian;
- Finno-Ugric.
Mongoloid race:
- Turkic;
- Mongolian;
- Korean;
- Japanese;
- Chukotka-Kamchatka;
- Sino-Tibetan.
Of course, there are many more ethnic groups and tribes living in Eurasia.
Peoples of Eurasia: countries
It is perhaps impossible to list all the countries of the continent within the framework of a single article, because there are about 99 of them! But it is worth mentioning the largest of them. Probably everyone knows that the largest state on the mainland is Russia. It is impossible not to mention India and China, countries with the highest population density.
As for the smallest states, they are mainly located in the western territories of the mainland. For example, unique public education considered the Vatican. The list of dwarf countries includes Liechtenstein, Andorra, Luxembourg and Monaco. The smallest countries in Asia are Brunei, Maldives and Bahrain.
Eurasia is considered the most colorful continent on the planet, of course! Its territory occupies 3/4 of the world's population with different skin colors, their own culture and traditions.
* The total population of Eurasia is 4.6 billion people! This, by the way, is three quarters of all the inhabitants of our planet. Moreover, it is distributed extremely unevenly across the continent.

§ 50. Population and political map
1. Remember what ancient states arose in Eurasia.
2. How do natural conditions affect the formation of racial characteristics of peoples?
Racial composition of the population. The most ancient civilizations arose in Eurasia - on the coast Mediterranean Sea, between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, India, China.
Now 2/3 of the world’s population lives on the mainland - more than 4 billion people.
The modern population of Eurasia consists of peoples belonging to different races. Most of them are representatives Caucasian. Caucasians with dark skin, dark eyes and straight dark hair inhabiting Europe, Southwest Asia and India. Caucasians living in northern Europe are tall, fair skin, light eyes and blond hair.
Peoples belonging to Mongoloid race, Inhabiting Central and East Asia.
Representatives of this race (Mongols, Chinese, Kazakhs, Koreans, Japanese) are usually short, with yellowish-dark skin, dark narrow eyes, and black straight hair.
Presentation “Population of Eurasia”
Representatives live in the south of Asia Negroid race, Having dark skin, high cheekbones, wavy dark hair.
NATIONAL COMPOSITION OF THE POPULATION. The national composition of the population of Eurasia is very complex. This is due to centuries-old migrations of peoples during conquests and internecine wars.
The main characteristics of a particular people are common territory of residence and language. According to the linguistic characteristics of the population of Eurasia, they are red language groups, united into language families. One of the most numerous is Indo-European language family. In Europe it includes peoples Slavic language group – Ukrainian, Russians, Belarusians, Poles and etc.
Their languages have many similar words, and their culture has a lot in common. To the nations German group belong Germans, English, Swedes, Norwegians, A to Romanesque – French, Italians, Spaniards, Romanians, Moldovans.
In Asian languages Indo-Iranian group talking Hindustani, Persians, Afghans.
Numerous people on the mainland and in the world Chinese, Inhabiting East Asia.
They refer to Chinese group Sino-Tibetan language family. Turks, Turkmens, Tatars, Azerbaijanis, Kazakhs Living predominantly in Western Asia, belong to Turkic language group . Arabs And Jews, Living in South-West Asia, belong to Semitic group .A special language group consists of Japanese And Koreans.
The dominant religion in Europe is Christianity. In Asia, along with Christianity, Islam (Islam), Hinduism, and Buddhism are widespread.

PLACEMENT OF POPULATION. On the vast and diverse territory of Eurasia, the population is distributed very unevenly.
In Europe, unlike Asia, there are no uninhabited or sparsely populated areas. Most Europeans (70%) live in cities. Individual cities are steadily growing, merging with suburbs and forming continuous urban development.
In Asia, there are great contrasts in natural conditions and, accordingly, in the distribution of the population. In some areas (valleys of large rivers, coastal lowlands, Japanese islands) the population density is very high and sometimes reaches 1,500 people / 1 km2. Very high population density in cities.
In other areas (Tibet, deserts), the population density is 2 people / 1 km2 or they are completely deserted.
MODERN POLITICAL MAP. The political map of Eurasia began to take shape a long time ago. In Europe, back in ancient times, there were such highly developed states, How Ancient Greece And Ancient Rome The political map of Eurasia changes over time: major powers fall apart and new ones emerge.
Thus, in 1991 it gained independence and Ukraine— The largest state in Europe.
Now there are more states in Eurasia than on any other continent. Countries differ from each other in their geographic location, size of territory, natural conditions, people inhabiting them, and level of economic development.
The largest in area in Eurasia is Russia, China, India At the same time, in Europe there are “dwarf” states with a tiny territory, and the number of their population can be compared with the number of inhabitants of the city.
For example, Vatican occupies 0.44 km2, Monaco— 2 km2, San Marino- 60.6 km2. Many countries are located on islands - Great Britain, Ireland, Iceland, Japan, Philippines, Indonesia etc. The largest countries in terms of population are Asian countries: China, India, Indonesia.
Of the seven countries in the world that have reached the highest level of economic development, five are in Eurasia: Germany, UK, France, Italy, Japan. These countries are world leaders in many sectors of the economy. In Asia, most states are classified as developing countries.

Population and countries
§ 66. Peoples of Eurasia. Countries
On the territory of Eurasia live peoples belonging to different races and linguistic groups. Slavic peoples live in Eastern Europe and Northern Asia. Their languages have a lot common words, there are many similarities in culture. There are Eastern, Western and Southern Slavs.
Population of Eurasia
TO Eastern Slavs include Russians, Ukrainians and Belarusians. To the west - Poles, Czechs and Slovaks. Bulgarians, Serbs, Croats, Slovenes are the southern Slavs. (Where in Western Europe live Germanic and Romanesque peoples?)
Rice. 101. Japanese
The Germanic peoples are characterized by blond hair and light skin.
Romance peoples are dark-haired and swarthy. The language of the Romance peoples was formed on the basis of the Latin language.
South Asia is inhabited by numerous Indian peoples. The Chinese are even larger in number.
About 3/4 of the population lives in Eurasia globe. The population is about 4.2 billion people.
(Compare it with the population of other continents. What conclusion can be drawn as a result of such a comparison?)
On the vast and diverse territory of the mainland, the population is distributed extremely unevenly. Eurasia has some of the highest population densities in the world.
Rice. 102. Village in high mountain Nepal
One of the reasons for the high density is the long history of settlement.
Thus, people settled in East and South Asia in the distant past. The rural population density here sometimes reaches 1000-1500 people per 1 km2. In Western Europe, the coastal part is the most populated Atlantic Ocean. An important feature of this part of Eurasia is the large urban population.
