Information AboutEurafrasia |
|
Africa-Eurasia, or '''Afro-Eurasia''', is a Supercontinent and the world's largest Landmass , containing around 85% of the Human Population . It is typically subdivided by the Suez Canal into the Continent s of Africa and Eurasia , the latter of which is culturally, but not geographically, further subdivided into Europe and Asia . Historians of the Cultural Materialism school may subdivide it into Eurasia- Northern 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 from the name), although these terms have never come into general use. In Geopolitics the mainland of Africa-Eurasia (excluding islands such as the British Isles , Japan and Madagascar ) has been referred to as the '''World Island'''. The Old World includes Africa-Eurasia and its surrounding islands.
