What the title says. India and china alone have almost 3 billion. Asia has over half the worlds population. Why has this historically been the case even though many Asian countries developed far slower than European countries.

Area plays a huge part.
Area of asia is about 17,23 square miles.
Area of Europe is about 3.93 million sq mi
Area of North America is about 9.54 sq mi
Area of South AMerica is about 6.89 sq mi
Area of Africa is about 11.73 sq mi
It’s not the only factor of course. Asia still has the highest population density of any continent but part of why it’s so high is it’s massive area. ANd massive livable area compared to NA.
NA being the 3rd largest has a low population density. One of the reason is most of Canada isn’t really habitable.
I’ll admit part of what I dont’ know here is how Russia factors in. Traditionally they’re placed with Europe which means that Europe could be highest in pop density if northern russia is factored into their land mass.
Anyway there’s a lot of things to do with it. Most of it is that from a human survival standpoint, those areas have amazing resources to provide.
