Africa-Eurasia

From Freepedia

The supercontinent of Africa-Eurasia (or Afro-Eurasia) is the world's largest land mass and contains around 85% of the human population. It is typically subdivided into the continents Africa and Eurasia by drawing a line at the Suez Canal. Historians of the cultural materialism school may subdivide it into Eurasia-North Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa, based on differing agricultural systems. (See Guns, Germs, and Steel for example.)

Some geographers and historians have referred to it as Eurafrasia or Afrasia (omitting the European peninsula), although these terms have never come into general use. Sometimes it has also been referred as the World Island, especially in geopolitics.

The Old World includes Africa-Eurasia and its surrounding islands.
