History

The continent is home to the majority of humanity, containing the world's two most populous countries, India and China, along with Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Russia among the ten most populous countries in the world, and was the site of many early civilizations. Among its main regions are the vast Siberia (which occupies virtually all of Asian Russia), the Himalayas (home to some of the highest peaks on the planet, including Mount Everest, the world's highest peak), the Arabian Desert (that occupies almost the entire Arabian Peninsula), and the cold Gobi Desert (in southern Mongolia and northern China).
