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.

China and India are civilization states, equal to the whole of Europe, which was overpopulated and colonized the Americas as a way to deal with that.

Europe would have around a billion people as well if hundreds of millions of people hadn’t emigrated to North and South America
