i have a question.
why are europe and asia considered 2 different continents?
i understand why north and south america are 2 different continents.
and i understand why africa is a continent(or, 'the nation of africa' as our esteemed leader mr. gw bush once said...).
but why are europe and africa considered 2 different continents?
look at a map, it's essentially one gigantic land mass.
you could theoretically walk blindfolded in one straight line from the french coast on the atlantic ocean to the chinese coast on the pacific ocean(although it might take a while, just fyi).
a continent is a 'principle land mass', right?
and don't europe and asia sort of occupy one gigantic principle land mass?
i wonder how it would effect the way in which citizens of europe and asia perceive themselves if instead of europe and asia you just had eurasia or asiope(although 'eurasia' seems to be a bit more mellifluous)? (..)
