Rare card · No. 62587

Afro-Eurasia (also known as Afroeurasia, and Eurafrasia) is a landmass, occasionally described as a supercontinent, comprising the continents of Africa, Asia, and Europe. The terms are compound words of the names of its constituent parts. Afro-Eurasia has also been called the "Old World", in contrast to the "New World" referring to the Americas plus sometimes Oceania and Antarctica. Afro-Eurasia encompasses 85,135,000 km2 (32,871,000 sq mi), 57% of the world's land area, and has a population of approximately 6.7 billion people, roughly 86% of the world population. Together with mainland Australia, they comprise the vast majority of the land in the world's Eastern Hemisphere. The Afro-Eurasian mainland is the largest and most populous contiguous landmass on Earth.
