Yea I find that weird too. The geographical border between Europe and Asia goes along the Ural mountains, Ural river, Kaspian Sea, the Caucasus, the Black Sea and the Bosporus. I'm not sure, which of the caucasian countries belong to Europe and which to Asia though. This makes for some unexpected fun facts: 1. Russia being part of both Europe and Asia makes it the largest country in both continents and Moscow the largest city in Europe. 2. although Turkey/Türkiye is mostly in Asia, Istanbul is mostly on the european side of the Bosporus, making Istanbul the second largest city in Europe after Moscow and followed by London (or Paris, depending how you measure). 3. a small part of Kazakhstan lies to the west of the Ural river, making Kazakhstan technically the second-largest country in Europe after Russia and followed by Türkiye and Ukraine.

At 2:33 when you divide the world into "West" and "East", what you really mean are the cultural areas divided between western Europe, including areas settled by Western Europeans outside of Europe, and the rest of the world, which is not necessarily the "East" (all that is not "West" is not necessarily "East"). Which raises the question, what is the cultural West? As answer, we can refer to a shared historical experience: In Europe, they are essentially the areas that were part of the Western Roman Empire, including a zone of influence beyond the borders of the Empire, that then collapsed and was overrun by Germanic tribes, then experienced 1000 years of feudalism and Catholicism. So by this definition Western Europe includes Iberia, Italy, France, the Low Countries, England and Wales, and the western and southern parts of Germany. Because of the expansion of the Carolingian Empire and Catholicisms into Eastern and Western Europe, we can include the rest of Germany, including the parts that are now the Czech Republic, Austria, Poland, as well Scotland and Ireland, the last two who were integrated into the West first by Christianity, then by the Normans. Scandinavia and what are now the the Baltic Republics were integrated into the West during the middle ages by conversion to Catholicism, instoration of feudalism and trade with the West and the spread of Western Law (including immigration of Western, mainly German, traders) through the Hanseatic League. The main political characteristic of Western Europe was a very decentralized political system as opposed to "Eastern" civilizations that tended to have emperors and central bureaucracies. Western Kings would often have to negotiate with their barons, who would meet in parliament to contest the King's power. In the West, tradesmen, artisans and local aristocrats were relatively independent, as were cities. They were typically governed by independent guilds and corporations. There was also a separation between secular and religious power, as the Catholic church always defended its autonomy from the King. This meant that education and social services, provided by the church, were relatively free from royal control. After the invention of the printing press, double-entry accounting and the adoption of Arab numerals, Western Europe experienced the Renaissance, fought wars of religion between Catholics and Protestants, experienced the Enlightenment, developed sophisticated navigation and shipping technology that allowed Western Europeans to sail around the planet by the 1500s, experienced a scientific and revolution in the 1600s and 1700s with a rapid advancement of weaponry, especially of guns and canons that gave them military superiority, then experienced a revolution in Liberal political thought in the 1700s, then experienced an industrial revolution in the 1800s. By the late 19th and early 20th Century Western Europeans (including settler nations outside of Europe) ruled the world. By 1940 only Japan, China, Korea, Thailand, the Soviet Union, Turkey, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Ethiopia were not ruled by Western Europeans or settler nations of Western European origin. in 1920, 20% percent of the World's population were descended from Western Europeans (it's less than half that today). I include those Latin American countries, that although the majority of their populations are not of European origin, were generally governed by Spanish-descended aristocracies. By the 1920s, all the richest nations with the most advanced technologies were Western European or Western European Settler nations, except for Japan and maybe the Soviet Union. So by that definition, the "West" would include Western Europe, with the boundary between east and west matching the religious boundary between Orthodox Christianity on one hand and Catholic and Protestant Europe on the other had (or the political border between Germany and Austro-Hungary on one hand and Russia and the Balkans on the other hand), and would include all the settler nations of the Americas and Oceania that are at least culturally dominated by people of Western European origin. And I would not call the rest of the world the "East". I would call them the rest of the world, or the non-Western world, because they include very disparate cultural groupings.
Some of these maps are problematic because they are not based on data but assumption or extrapolation. For example the average Irish person has lighter hair and skin that the average English person but these maps say the opposite.
Some of those maps could do with gradients or half-shaded regions. Like where does Europe/Asia split and especially the east/west divide, which arguably has shifted in meaning also.
The one of the "7" continents and "5" climates were kind of disappointing. 7 continents is what's taught in some countries but the number varies in others because it's really up for debate where one starts and one ends. Jay Foreman did a good video on it. Also there are much more interesting climate maps that have a few more categories, those two maps kinda felt like throw aways
About the east/west one. There is no way that map isn't old. Because poland and other central/eastern european countries are most certainly western now, along with japan and south korea.

I’m surprised the % of Blondes map did not highlight the Nuristan province of Afghanistan. My family comes from there and this province is known for having mostly blonde people, or a significant amount ranging anywhere between 35-60%.
Well, Alexander the Great was blond and many of his soldiers as well. But he unfortunately married a Bactrian princess named Roxane who poisoned him in Babylon. Why ? Because he was gay. As for Russia being European, that's a joke.. look what's happening now.

2:25 Russia is also intersected by East-West hemispheres. The extream East of Russia is so far that it is in Western Hemisphere! 5:57 You could mention that an asian border of blond/non-blond from Black Sea to sea of Japan clearly determines the limits of ethic russian area.
I would put the Southern Cone countries of Argentina, Uruguay, and Chile - but not the rest of Latin America necessarily - on the same pedestal as South Africa, in being just sometimes considered part of the Western world in a socioeconomic or geopolitical sense. Like South Africa, the Southern Cone countries straddle the divide between the Global North and the Global South.
Being Western is not synonym of being rich. Poorer and dictatorial countries like Cuba and Venezuela can look pretty similar to Spain in every single cultural aspect.
This title is so similar to ibx2cat's videos "12 different ways to divide the world in half" and " These 13 Maps divide our world" lol. Totally different video styles but made me do a double take when I got this notification
As for your what if hittler won the war map, i know why Canada is shown as still independent and i know why its coloured in this light blue as well. First the colour is the colour of Québec, the rebellious province of Canada. (French Canada) at the time Québec was led by Duplesis and he was pro-Nazi. Most french Canadians did not want to join the war either. Thats the facts i know. Now the next part is my assumption: I think Hitler was planning to give the rest of Canada to Québec.
The East/West political divide map (at 2:32) looks more like a racial divide map: white countries/non-white countries. Why is Japan politically East? Why is S. Africa is sometimes West? It that because SA used to be ruled by the whites. Countries like Singapore and S. Korea are ahead of many Euro-nations like Spain and light-years ahead of Greece in terms of industrialization, technology and income. Yet, they are classified as the 3rd world in the development map (4:41). Why? In the pre-Columbian euro-centric world, there were 3 regions: Europe, Africa, and the rest of the world called ASIA, until Australia and the "new world" were "discovered". I have no doubt that Australia would be a part of ASIA if it were not settled by the whites. This video lacks accuracy & explanation.
In the "three worlds" map (at 4:16), shouldn't Cuba have been colored in red, as it was part of the Communist bloc (and thus, the Second World?) Similarly, several European countries were neutral and thus technically Third World, including Sweden and Switzerland, even though nobody ever thinks of those as "Third World" countries.
You meant to say: "If Hitler's army HAD WON," as it's a statement contrary to fact. "If he had gone to the library, he would have called by now." "If he did win" means that he might have won, but you aren't sure. "If he did go to the library, he'll be home any minute.'
As a lifelong (since around age-5) geography fanatic/nerd, I still find it hard to accept the definition of "Asia" which has some fairly ambiguous lines. The most obvious is Russia, which in some cases is considered to be entirely in Asia, but in other cases (what I was taught in school) only east of the Ural mountains is in Asia with the other part belonging to Europe. Also some maps show the Sinai peninsula of Egypt as being in Asia while others say it's Africa. Another trans-continental nation is Turkey, where west of the Bosphorus is Europe and the other side is Asia. And finally, when I and many others think of "Asia" it is mostly oriental in nature, so China, Japan, Korea, Thailand, etc. but not Saudi Arabia or Israel. So to set things right I propose there be another "continent" called something like "Arabastan" which includes the Middle East and all the countries who's name ends with "stan". Sound good? So let it be written, so let it be done. ;-)

That’s wrong. Oceania is a ‘region’ comprising of Polynesia, Micronesia and Melanesia.

We already have borders between country's this would be logical to make THEM the region's and perhaps even have a East & Western Europe. BACK to Oceania you play the "linguistically & ethnically" card on your land mass you have "islands" here in Oceania for the region and turning your land-mass a hit and miss affair between continents.
5:12 That skin colour map is inaccurate, Australia (indigenous peoples) on average has darker skin than depicted, and the skin colour of people from Mexico, and South America is depicted as darker than average. Also, there are no native people from Yemen, Indonesia, The Philippines, or Kyushu and Shikoku islands of Japan who have dark skin like most Africans!
2:41 That map is clearly wrong. "East" in this context is current or former communist nations and nations that at some point in time was aligned with the USSR. Northern Africa and the middle east shouldn't be red on this map. It's a lot more complicated then this.
3:30 You know The Pirate Saying "Sail The Seven Seas"? What if "Seas" is actually "C"s, like an acronym for "Continents"? There are only 5 oceans after all, and many more "Seas" than just 7 of them. Also, if Australia gets to be a continent, all on its own, as well as Antarctica; why can't Greenland be one, too? It's The Largest Island on Earth, while Australia is a bit smaller, yet somehow Australia is called a continent, and Icy Antarctica is called one, not a mere island; so, why not Greenland? That would make 8 continents, but it would still make more sense, technically speaking (When it comes to definitions of a Continent).
How big is Greenland? If you want people to take this seriously, please show maps that are proportionately accurate. In some of the projections shown, it appears to be the same size as Africa when in reality it's about 7% of the size of Africa.
Latin America is not "Western" because these countries are not fully alligned with the "USA and friends" block. Despite speaking Romance languages, being catholic and having all the Iberic culture well rooted into its social composition, Latin America is a region that still is not much involved in the world's alliances or blocks such as NATO. Therefore, the Anglo countries just ignore the region from their "Western" mentality, which tbh should be fine for the Latin American countries. Turns out that China is taking very good advantage from this situation in South America 👀

There are so many mistakes in your video, I won't bother correcting all of them. There is, however, one commonly accepted mistake which you have repeated. Europe and Asia are actually one continent. The ancient Greeks made up a pretend division, but it is actually Eurasia. Every textbook is wrong.
No, black Africans didn't wander into Europe 40,000 years ago. Caucasians were isolated for about 80,000 years during the last ice age until the sudden warming 13,000 years ago. No, olive skin isn't the product of race mixing. Olive skin, black hair, and brown eyes are the features of the people who first migrated out of the Caucasus way back then. Thousands of years later, the people who remained in the Caucasus evolved to have lighter skin, blond hair, and blue eyes. Even later, there was another migration out of the Caucasus of people with very pale skin, brown or red hair, and blue and green eyes. Nowdays, we call these three groups Mediterranean, Nordic, and Celtic and Slavic. There are other minor groups, and yes there has been some mixing of varieties in the last few decades. However, the differences among Europeans are most definitely NOT due to gradations of mixing with black Africans. Many Europeans with darker appearance have a complete absence of African genes. Dark-skinned people could not have survived in primitive conditions far from the Equator. They would have been afflicted with rickets and died at a high rate until extinct. What's far more likely is that modern black Africans originated in a lighter-skinned group in Eastern Europe or the Fertile Crescent some hundreds of thousands of years ago. Over a very long time, those in Africa became completely isolated and adapted to the stronger sun, as did American Indians. Please notice the average 103 IQ of Irish, of whom quite a few have Mediterranean features, compared to about 90 IQ average of mixed-race Southwest Asians who are partly mixed with African genes and express a mostly-Mediterranean appearance.

I've always seen Europe as a peninsula. It's just an extension of Asia, this Eurasia. The concept of "European continent" just doesnt make sense to me.
3:34 Except that there's more then one model for how many continents there are and what's a part of each. Apart from å famous one (North and South America as one or two continents), you also got things like Australia vs Oceania as one of the continents, Asia and Europe as one or two continents, and of course Africa could be considered a part of it too. Different countries teach a different number of continents. Some teach 7, some 5, some 6 etc.
I can live with central European EU, catholic/protestant countries not being considered west. Ditto for Japan/South Korea put in the same group with Somalia or Turkmenistan. But Ireland not being "western" is too much... And no, Central Asia doesn't have temperate climate. It is "dry" or "continental", even according to your map. On another note, Hitler or Mussolini would make Mediterranean completely disappear, really... This video is ridiculous. Fun because it is so ridden with errors.

So by that definition, the "West" would include Western Europe, with the boundary between east and west matching the religious boundary between Orthodox Christianity on one hand and Catholic and Protestant Europe on the other had (or the political border between Germany and Austro-Hungary on one hand and Russia and the Balkans on the other hand), and would include all the settler nations of the Americas and Oceania that are at least culturally dominated by people of Western European origin.
And I would not call the rest of the world the "East". I would call them the rest of the world, or the non-Western world, because they include very disparate cultural groupings.
Some of these maps are problematic because they are not based on data but assumption or extrapolation. For example the average Irish person has lighter hair and skin that the average English person but these maps say the opposite.
As a redhead, I was waiting for you to address the world redhead population. I would have enjoyed that
Some of those maps could do with gradients or half-shaded regions. Like where does Europe/Asia split and especially the east/west divide, which arguably has shifted in meaning also.
The one of the "7" continents and "5" climates were kind of disappointing. 7 continents is what's taught in some countries but the number varies in others because it's really up for debate where one starts and one ends. Jay Foreman did a good video on it. Also there are much more interesting climate maps that have a few more categories, those two maps kinda felt like throw aways
I agree. For the climate map, I was at least expecting the Mediterranean climate.
The American continent divided in two is funny. We all know where that's comming from.
About the east/west one. There is no way that map isn't old. Because poland and other central/eastern european countries are most certainly western now, along with japan and south korea.
such high quality geography content, keep it up

I’m surprised the % of Blondes map did not highlight the Nuristan province of Afghanistan. My family comes from there and this province is known for having mostly blonde people, or a significant amount ranging anywhere between 35-60%.
Well, Alexander the Great was blond and many of his soldiers as well. But he unfortunately married a Bactrian princess named Roxane who poisoned him in Babylon. Why ? Because he was gay. As for Russia being European, that's a joke.. look what's happening now.
@@PersianAfghani I doubt that very much. I repeat, he was gay. He married princesses for political reasons. I'm not sure that you know that much history. Surely there's libraries where you live ?

Found your channel and started binge watching lol
The earth travels round the sun at approximately 67,000 mph. It rotates at approximately 1,000 mph (at the equator, 0 mph at the poles).
2:25 Russia is also intersected by East-West hemispheres. The extream East of Russia is so far that it is in Western Hemisphere!
5:57 You could mention that an asian border of blond/non-blond from Black Sea to sea of Japan clearly determines the limits of ethic russian area.
I would put the Southern Cone countries of Argentina, Uruguay, and Chile - but not the rest of Latin America necessarily - on the same pedestal as South Africa, in being just sometimes considered part of the Western world in a socioeconomic or geopolitical sense. Like South Africa, the Southern Cone countries straddle the divide between the Global North and the Global South.
Being Western is not synonym of being rich. Poorer and dictatorial countries like Cuba and Venezuela can look pretty similar to Spain in every single cultural aspect.

As for your what if hittler won the war map, i know why Canada is shown as still independent and i know why its coloured in this light blue as well.
First the colour is the colour of Québec, the rebellious province of Canada. (French Canada) at the time Québec was led by Duplesis and he was pro-Nazi. Most french Canadians did not want to join the war either.
Thats the facts i know. Now the next part is my assumption:
I think Hitler was planning to give the rest of Canada to Québec.
Germany had no plans to invade the Americas. That's wartime propaganda that kept being spewed out as victor's propaganda.

The East/West political divide map (at 2:32) looks more like a racial divide map: white countries/non-white countries. Why is Japan politically East? Why is S. Africa is sometimes West? It that because SA used to be ruled by the whites. Countries like Singapore and S. Korea are ahead of many Euro-nations like Spain and light-years ahead of Greece in terms of industrialization, technology and income. Yet, they are classified as the 3rd world in the development map (4:41). Why? In the pre-Columbian euro-centric world, there were 3 regions: Europe, Africa, and the rest of the world called ASIA, until Australia and the "new world" were "discovered". I have no doubt that Australia would be a part of ASIA if it were not settled by the whites. This video lacks accuracy & explanation.
The Earth's ROTATION on its axis is close to 1,000 mph. Its REVOLUTION around the sun is about 66,700 mph.
Hitler seriously????😂😂
In the "three worlds" map (at 4:16), shouldn't Cuba have been colored in red, as it was part of the Communist bloc (and thus, the Second World?) Similarly, several European countries were neutral and thus technically Third World, including Sweden and Switzerland, even though nobody ever thinks of those as "Third World" countries.
The equator passes through Arusha in Tanzania.
You meant to say: "If Hitler's army HAD WON," as it's a statement contrary to fact. "If he had gone to the library, he would have called by now."
"If he did win" means that he might have won, but you aren't sure. "If he did go to the library, he'll be home any minute.'

Russia also spans on both east and west hemispheres (the far east is located on the western hemisphere)
Europe is not a continent
Then Asia is not a continent either
@@audience2 Yes it's not!
Well it is tho 💀🤣🤦🏽♂️ idiots man
As a lifelong (since around age-5) geography fanatic/nerd, I still find it hard to accept the definition of "Asia" which has some fairly ambiguous lines. The most obvious is Russia, which in some cases is considered to be entirely in Asia, but in other cases (what I was taught in school) only east of the Ural mountains is in Asia with the other part belonging to Europe. Also some maps show the Sinai peninsula of Egypt as being in Asia while others say it's Africa. Another trans-continental nation is Turkey, where west of the Bosphorus is Europe and the other side is Asia. And finally, when I and many others think of "Asia" it is mostly oriental in nature, so China, Japan, Korea, Thailand, etc. but not Saudi Arabia or Israel. So to set things right I propose there be another "continent" called something like "Arabastan" which includes the Middle East and all the countries who's name ends with "stan". Sound good? So let it be written, so let it be done. ;-)
Cool idea
Middle East is a better name
Russia is eurasia
There is Arabian plate & Indian plate
There is no European plate. Yet Europe is a continent
Nicely done. 👍

"Australia" is not a "Continent" it is an island, "Oceania" is the continent.
Just as "Canada" is not a continent but "North America"
That’s wrong. Oceania is a ‘region’ comprising of Polynesia, Micronesia and Melanesia. Oceania is treated like a continent but the truth is that the continent is still Australia and Australia is the largest country in that continent. It’s confusing but that’s just the way it is. Check on google if you don’t beliwve
@@psyche1182 LOL take google as the bible LOL, region, that is saying Africa is a region to include Madagascar not a continent, your using "truck" as a vehicle that has 4 wheels and a cargo area, but go else where it is a 18 wheeled articulated thing
@@paulwilliams5208 no. A continent has to be a large land mass, Oceania is not a large land mass, Australia is. The whole point is that its such a huge island that its a continent. We also don’t say the island of the americas

@@simonuser "A continent has to be a large land mass", ya to suit narrative. then USA's in the "continent" of America in the "region" of north america, your arbitrary drawing a line across panama. just as Europe & Asia, Russia is sliced up... OK! "A continent has to be a large land mass" therefore europe, asia & africa is all one continent, but now you go the "linguistically & ethnically" way. We already have borders between country's this would be logical to make THEM the region's and perhaps even have a East & Western Europe. BACK to Oceania you play the "linguistically & ethnically" card on your land mass you have "islands" here in Oceania for the region and turning your land-mass a hit and miss affair between continents.
Iceland is not part of North America! 😅
Fun fact: the earth moves around the sun closer to 60,000 rather 1000 mph.
Video starts with an inexplicably inverted Gaspe Peninsula.
5:12 That skin colour map is inaccurate, Australia (indigenous peoples) on average has darker skin than depicted, and the skin colour of people from Mexico, and South America is depicted as darker than average. Also, there are no native people from Yemen, Indonesia, The Philippines, or Kyushu and Shikoku islands of Japan who have dark skin like most Africans!
Very old maps in use here.
2:41
That map is clearly wrong.
"East" in this context is current or former communist nations and nations that at some point in time was aligned with the USSR.
Northern Africa and the middle east shouldn't be red on this map.
It's a lot more complicated then this.
3:30 You know The Pirate Saying "Sail The Seven Seas"? What if "Seas" is actually "C"s, like an acronym for "Continents"? There are only 5 oceans after all, and many more "Seas" than just 7 of them.
Also, if Australia gets to be a continent, all on its own, as well as Antarctica; why can't Greenland be one, too? It's The Largest Island on Earth, while Australia is a bit smaller, yet somehow Australia is called a continent, and Icy Antarctica is called one, not a mere island; so, why not Greenland? That would make 8 continents, but it would still make more sense, technically speaking (When it comes to definitions of a Continent).
How is Ireland not in considered a western country?? That seems very strange to me!
What's app eats a lot of memory and is a bit complicated I gave up.

Not 1000 m/h, that's the orbital speed, it's more like 67000 m/h
How big is Greenland? If you want people to take this seriously, please show maps that are proportionately accurate. In some of the projections shown, it appears to be the same size as Africa when in reality it's about 7% of the size of Africa.
Very surface-level, basic information with hardly any discussion or interesting information provided to illuminate any particular point.

Latin America is not "Western" because these countries are not fully alligned with the "USA and friends" block. Despite speaking Romance languages, being catholic and having all the Iberic culture well rooted into its social composition, Latin America is a region that still is not much involved in the world's alliances or blocks such as NATO. Therefore, the Anglo countries just ignore the region from their "Western" mentality, which tbh should be fine for the Latin American countries. Turns out that China is taking very good advantage from this situation in South America 👀
In reality, ALL maps divide us. That's their main purpose, to justify the divisions.
0:13 "...1000 mph..." wrong. Earth orbits the Sun at an average speed of 67,000 mph, or 18.5 miles a second.
I think he meant the speed of the rotation of the Earth at the Equator.
The hair color map is wrong because i am from south america and i am readhead from ecuador ? 😲
Probably 1 in millions, these maps are about percentage.
the Middle East is Western Asia just like how Eastern Asia is the Far East... just putting that out there

*History repeats itself.* The Russian-Turkish War of 1768, the first war in the imperial life of young Catherine the Great. Russians occupy Crimea (Turkish protectorate). The Ottoman Empire declares war to Russia. Russian Navy enters the Mediterranean Sea and blocks the Bosphorus, Russian naval landings invade Syria and Egypt, Catherine's fiance Prince Orlov is wounded at a cavalry attack, an anti-Turkish uprising begins in Greece and the Balkans, the Turks want to poison Catherine, but the Russians find out about it. Russia is winning.

All this Western Garbage in Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Southeast Asia will have to be cleared up by the Russians, not by the Europeans, the Chinese or Iranians...Because only we have nuclear and space technologies, and only the Russians will be able to stop the madness of the West, which decided that it had won the Cold War.

We find your maps ,that depict Greenland larger than the continent of Africa, to be illogical.
This has probably already been asked, but did Hitler not have a plan for Canada or did he just decide to let the country be?
There are so many mistakes in your video, I won't bother correcting all of them. There is, however, one commonly accepted mistake which you have repeated. Europe and Asia are actually one continent. The ancient Greeks made up a pretend division, but it is actually Eurasia. Every textbook is wrong.

Why the F. are Europe and Asia diffèrent continents !?
No, black Africans didn't wander into Europe 40,000 years ago. Caucasians were isolated for about 80,000 years during the last ice age until the sudden warming 13,000 years ago. No, olive skin isn't the product of race mixing. Olive skin, black hair, and brown eyes are the features of the people who first migrated out of the Caucasus way back then. Thousands of years later, the people who remained in the Caucasus evolved to have lighter skin, blond hair, and blue eyes. Even later, there was another migration out of the Caucasus of people with very pale skin, brown or red hair, and blue and green eyes. Nowdays, we call these three groups Mediterranean, Nordic, and Celtic and Slavic. There are other minor groups, and yes there has been some mixing of varieties in the last few decades. However, the differences among Europeans are most definitely NOT due to gradations of mixing with black Africans. Many Europeans with darker appearance have a complete absence of African genes.
Dark-skinned people could not have survived in primitive conditions far from the Equator. They would have been afflicted with rickets and died at a high rate until extinct. What's far more likely is that modern black Africans originated in a lighter-skinned group in Eastern Europe or the Fertile Crescent some hundreds of thousands of years ago. Over a very long time, those in Africa became completely isolated and adapted to the stronger sun, as did American Indians.
Please notice the average 103 IQ of Irish, of whom quite a few have Mediterranean features, compared to about 90 IQ average of mixed-race Southwest Asians who are partly mixed with African genes and express a mostly-Mediterranean appearance.
Horrible...so many errors where to begin...Ireland is no longer Western? And Japan is full Eastern now, even though it lives in the West as a G7founder?nSouth Korea is third world now? Lordy...I realise some of these maps are pulled from other sources but they are just feckless garbage.

Hola
3:34
Except that there's more then one model for how many continents there are and what's a part of each.
Apart from å famous one (North and South America as one or two continents), you also got things like Australia vs Oceania as one of the continents, Asia and Europe as one or two continents, and of course Africa could be considered a part of it too.
Different countries teach a different number of continents.
Some teach 7, some 5, some 6 etc.
