I have never understood the divide between Europe and Asia. It's all the same continent. Without a map no one would ever know where the dividing line is.

Europe is considered a separate continent from Asia because of its distinct historical, cultural and political identity, rather than any clear geographical demarcation. ...
A large part of Turkey lies in Asia, however, culturally and politically, it has been closer to Europe and therefore sees itself as a European country.
There are other two overland boundaries between Asia and Africa - dividing Afro-Eurasia into Africa and Eurasia at the Isthmus of Suez and the Americas, the Panama isthmus. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boun...nents_of_Earth

I understand that, but that is not the definition of a continent. A continent is a land mass. It's geographical, not sociological. Africa is different. It's separated from the other land masses by the Mediterranean and Red seas. But Europe and Asia are not separated by any body of water.
Also if you believe, history, culture, and political boundaries should define continents, then certainly the Middle East should be considered a continent in its own. Since it's by far the most historically, culturally and politically distinct.

I agree about Europe and Asia. Let's call it the continent of Eurasia. If you still want 7 continents, then you can make Greenland a continent. It's over twice as large as the next largest island.

Many great stories have very specific geographic locations where they unfolded, were conceived, or simply in our minds: Ulysses - Ithaca, Don Quixote - La Mancha; King Arthur - Glamorgan. Source: http://ow.ly/lKqY50zcupO"
