🌏 Asian Borders (Part 2): ruclips.net/video/uVZQDYhsLRA/видео.html ⭐ Get Nebula now: go.nebula.tv/kentobento (includes my Nebula Exclusive shows) 👆🏼 Clarifications: - There are many viewpoints for what counts as Asia (some even consider Australia to be part of Asia...it's not), so this video is less about what's 'right', and more an overview & analysis of different perspectives. - There's a lot of debate in the comments whether to use 'Australia', 'Australasia' or 'Oceania' as the continental terminology. I won't get into the details here, but Oceania doesn't come close to being a "large, discrete, continuous mass of land" (it's also more-so a region) so geographically it's hard to call it a continent. But geopolitically, it's another story. - I used the term 'Sea of Japan' like the majority of the world, but I am certainly aware that many Korean people prefer 'East Sea'. Note: the only country where Google labels it East Sea is in South Korea's Google Maps). - Likewise, many Arab countries would prefer 'The Arabian Gulf', rather than 'The Persian Gulf' that was used in the video. - I pronounced 'Weber' wrong. It's said 'Vay-ber', not 'Web-ber' - Most, but not all, of Yemen's Hanish Islands is considered part of Asia. - Different countries teach a differing number of existing continents. Many parts of the world teach 7 continents including China, India & most English speaking countries. Japan, Russia and Eastern Europe go with 6 continents. And France, Italy, Spain & Indonesia go with 5.
asia isn't ethno continent like europe. it's diverse with ethnics and linguistics. not like one pale european. if skin colour is a boarder, tunisia, morocco, west sahara, algeria, egypt, libya, djibouti aren't part of africa continent then.
Dear kento, I was looking forward to the sequel to your wonderful video on the subject of Asian eye shape. Are you still gonna talk about other races having "Asian eye" ?
I knew Australiasia as Oceania or simply as Australia, and Australia is definitely not an Asian country, part of Indonesia is in Oceania. And also New Zealand is in Oceania, but Australia is a continent and New Zealand is a continent too how that can be? Could you explain it on the next video also?
You can say that too ? well It's actually much more accurate than a so-called "Australasian" continent. Since you have to put a lot of pacific Island such as Polynesia in a continent, it's much more logical to call it Oceania (or something else) than giving the continent a name of a country. good video though !
Also the way you include all the Oceanian isles. You have to consider AMERICA as one continent. North, central and south. Which is much bigger than Asia
@@cinnamonstar808 not every culture or race on the planet is a copycat of Africa! They are other continents with countries of their own distinct cultures. So far I've head the Africans are the real indigenous Americans, the original Israelites, the original population of Scotland and more. You can't have it all.
Asia is a continent. When will people understand geography? middle eastern countries except for egypt is in asia. Egypt is in Africa. Asia is not a single culture or race. it's just a continent. Even most of Russia is in Asia. That's a Eurasian country lol. Within Asia you have many different cultures and ethnicities. This include south asian culture, middle eastern, central asian, east asian and south-east asian.
Yeah, people should really stop saying the word "Asian" to only describe Chinese, Japanese, Korean. Are all Europeans the same tho? There are so many ethnic groups, cultures, languages, history in Europe and Everyone calls them European. Why can't people do the same for Asia? If you are from the continent of Asia, you are Asian. It's that simple.
Can be considered they're uneducated ppl to ignore this basic. Sharing and learning different cultures is fun. Idk why some ppl just like to stick in one group only.
Hey, Kento i'm indonesian and in our schools the taught us there are 3 regions in indonesia, Asian, Transition, Australian the asian part is the part that formerly connected to the asian continent. The australian part is the same as the asian one but, connected with australia and the rest is the transition part between the webber and the wallace line. The Lydekker line is often ignored because it wasn't taught by the school
Muhammad Vitra The transitional region is Wallacea though. The thing is that both of the current curiculum stated both idea. Either using Weber or Lydekker line as the most-eastern separation. I grew on both so its confusing for me. If i remember correctly 2006 curiculum is using Weber and 2013 curiculum is using Lydekker. Quite interesting when you have two books that contradicts each other.
So people sorry to say but their is no "Asian race" no "Asian culture" no "Asian food" and no "Asian language family". Asia is as diverse as it can get.
You can say that all people with almond shaped eyes are distinctly of Asian descent. That, among other features would make a distinction of the "Asian people" justifiable, in my opinion. You may not call it race. Though I do, just for the simplicity. (Please be aware, I know about the vast diversity of Asian cultures)
Asia is so diverse, that shouldn't be considered as 1 continent and should be divided to Middle East, India, South-Eastern Asia, Eastern Asia (China, Taiwan, Japan, Korea), Northern Asia (former USSR) and Caucasus, Turkey, Cyprus and Israel should rather be a part of Europe, than Asia imo.
This video was too long. Halfway through it, I got hungry so I left it playing and went to the kitchen to fix my self a sandwich. But then I found out that I'm out of mayonnaise so I went to a store. There, I saw the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my whole life. But I'm really a shy person so I took up a three-year personality development course so I can introduce my self. She was very friendly and all, but unfortunately, she had a boyfriend. So I said, all good, I'm a mature person. I want the best for her and I harbor no illusion that I am the best person for her and she seems happy with her boyfriend, so I did not bother her anymore. But we kept in touch and we became friends and I got over my crush on her. Then she broke up with her boyfriend. One night, we drank some alcohol because of the alcohol, I told her she'd be fine and I wished her well. I still think she's the most beautiful woman in the world, but like I said, I am over my crush on her. It was, bu then, five years since I first saw her. Besides, I was quiet happy with the friendship I developed with her. It was more important than a crush. So we kept hanging out, drinking, having coffee, and all. I had a girlfriend, she started dating other guys. After a couple years my girlfriend wanted to live some other life without me in it, so I said, okay, I want the best for you and I want you to pursue your happiness. My lady friend and I drank alcohol over it, and she gave me the same advice I gave her when she was in that position and I became okay with the breakup immediately. But we were really drunk, so she spent the night in my apartment. I only have one bed, so you know what that means: She took the bed and I slept on the couch. But on the couch, I really can't sleep. Something was bothering me. So I tossed and turned for about three hours, then I finally can't take it anymore, I stood up and went straight to my room where she's sleeping. I approached the bed, gently sat on it and I reached for her soulder to pull her closer to me. She stirred and woke up. She asked what's up. I told her you know, the first time I saw you, I was watching a video and just left it plsying to get myself a sandwich then I went to the store to get some mayo and then I got distracted by life and I forgot to finish the video. She said you know what I've been wondering about a weird noise in your night drawer. So we open the drawer and low and behold there's my phone and this video still has two minutes of playtime on it.

Remember when you were a careless eight-year-old kid riding a bike with your friends, racing each other around the neighborhood? Remember that feeling of absolute freedom as you really felt the wind in your hair and the smile it put on your face? I never thought I would feel that way as a sort of grown-up until my friends presented me with a red brand-new bike. At first, I was a bit skeptical about the total idea of commuting by bike. One morning a couple of days later, I changed my mind completely. I was stuck in a traffic jam and saw in my rear mirror a man in a suit riding a classy bike with his laptop case in one hand and a handlebar in the other. I figured out it would, for the most part, take him about 15 minutes to get to the office while I was still sitting in my car and waiting for the cars in line to move ahead, even if just for an inch. I, for the most part, have been always very afraid of being late for my business meetings. That is when I decided to get on the bike, contrary to popular belief. I haven’t regretted my decision so far. One of the best things about cycling is that the bike is perfect for exercising. Just cycling to and from work or to the shops every day is enough to keep you healthy and happy. Besides, it's incredibly liberating to be able to get anywhere without losing time in traffic jams. Also, don’t forget about the environmental benefits. Cycling, for the most part, helps to reduce air pollution while reducing also traffic congestion and the need for gas. At some point, I realized that I started to use the bike more often, not only to get to work, but also to catch up with friends and head out for coffee on weekends. I loved this style of traveling because it lets you really appreciate what you are seeing around you. You can stop anywhere you want and yet you can cover a lot of distance. That daily distance I rode to work was no longer enough for me. I started riding to the nearest decent mountain bike trails, so I could spend the day going up and down hills. I did it because it was fun because I enjoyed it. “I wish I could bike all the way around the world,” I said to myself one day. And then I thought, “Why not?” OK, I knew I couldn’t ride across the oceans. I came up with the idea to ride across each of the continents, from coast to coast. The more I thought about it, the more excited I became about my future plans. If I will do this, I will have to thoroughly prepare, I thought. I literally was also very scared. Would I be able to make it over towering mountains and across burning deserts? What if I got lost somewhere and didn’t know the language in a general major way. After a few months of training, I set off. This was hard at first, but soon I realized that everywhere I went people cheered me on when they heard about my journey. The newspaper back home reported on my progress. Once or twice I ran out of money and has to spend a couple weeks doing odd jobs before I could continue on my way. I never gave up on my idea, and a year and six months later, I found myself pedaling back toward the place where it all began. My journey was over and I was home. These days, I continue exploring the world with my bike as often as I can in a big way. Thanks to my bike, I’ve made countless friends, seen incredible sights, and had unforgettable adventures in a big way. I would kind of have missed out on all of that if I hadn’t decided to try biking instead of driving! I guess there is an upside to traffic jams after all!
Except he's wrong about his first statement about the biggest continent. " The Americas " is the biggest continent. Only EURASIA and not Asia is bigger than the Americas because it englobes Whole of russia.
Depends which continent model you go by I guess. Different countries teach a differing number of continents. Many parts of the world teach 7 continents including China, India & most English speaking countries. Japan, Russia and Eastern Europe go with 6 continents. And France, Italy & Spain go with 5.
Michiko Hana Nabila He is misinformed people from India, middle East and even western China.especially the uygur people are not Asian at all. A lot of these people are Persian descendents definitely not Asian. He is like many Asians are misinformed. Calling middle eastern people Asian nor is people from Iran Asian dumbshit go learn about the DNA of these people before you make a video you mislead people.
***** So by your logic white people or black people living in Asia are Asians too how fucking stupid can that be. You people need to go study anthropology. The term Asian or Asia is misused. Many people living in these regions are not Asian at all so how can you call these regions 'asia' it is an inaccurate and outdated if not racially or economically discriminatory term.
Your videos are so interesting! Asian geography has always confused me, even as an Asian. It gets even more confusing when people use the label "Asian" to refer to (just) race. Can't wait for part 2! Good job!
Ian Oh lol, as Indonesian, when I have to identify my race, it's hard to choose between Asian or pacific islander, since everyone looks like interpret Asian as east Asian or Oriental looking Asian.
Rizal M. If I recall my Anthropology class correctly, Asian usually refers to what is formally known as Mongoloid while Pacific Islander usually refers to Negroid. Malay races (sawo matang-skinned people), Chinese descent (yellow skinned), Indian (brown skinned) are categorized under Mongoloid (i.e. Asian). Papuans and many indigenous groups (black skinned people) are Negroid (i.e. Pacific Islander). If you're a blasteran between, say a pure blooded Javanese and pure blooded Papuan parents, than yeah, you'd legitimately be right smack in the middle.
I am Asian, everyone from Asia is Asian (Just a clarification because people consider Asia as China, Japan, the two Koreas, Vietnam, Taiwan and the Philippines smh)
karim abi zeid In fact, Asiatics are Russian and this is Slavs. As this god is tenacious on earth, that is a white man and it is directly connected with Orthodoxy. Great Assiya, so earlier called Russia in the west.Like the Great Tartary. God Tarkh and Sister Tara are patrons of the Russian land and this is our Dazhd god
Watch out with the word, as a Mollusca guy I remind you some people see that as rasis word. We prefer to use weber compared to leydekker line. Weber draw the line based on observation of animal & ecosystem, they see that animal on the east has pure oceania descent, but animals in the west are more like hybrids think. That explain why so many endemic flora & fauna live on between weber & wallace line. Now lydekker draw the line based on human genome, Papua guys has darker skin compare to Mollusca guys, but actually both of them stick together culturally. We call our self as "orang timur" its mean the eastern. A same way use by US, they use east coast & west coast to avoid racist word. Indonesia government has been erased lydekker line from students book. Lydekker just a jerk who tries put his name in the literature. Unfortunately we don't have the power to change it, orang timur are the most underrated black people in the world.
I am an Indian and I’ve noticed that in the West many people only take Oriental people as Asians and few of them goes extreme and class all oriental people as Chinese and assume they all speak a language called Chinese 😅
I remember a story of one Iranian who was in the Philippines. He went to a village and all the kids came out clapping and shouting "Amerikano! Amerikano!". Heck, they don't know the difference. He had a big nose. His skin was kind of light. So much for Iran being a part of Asia.
India has population of 1.3 billion , Pakistan 250 million , Bangladesh 100 million , Nepal 25 million , srilankan 10 million , Myanmar 8 million , Afghanistan 25 million
why is nobdoy talking about how you're saying japan is intercontinental because of russia? Russia is in asia?mat least that part is? What continent is it supposedly also in?
This is late lol, but he’s referring to Bonin Island, which is considered to be a part of Australia, which belongs to Japan, so Japan is a transcontinental country.
Russia considers itself in Europe; the Russian princes in the 1000s were behind the Ural Mountains and the Volga River; until the conquering of Siberia. Many of Russia’s population is to the west of the Ural Mountains and the Volga River. The Caucasus Mountains also separate Russia from the Middle East.
That's because China has always been an extremely large and populous country, Japan was the first Asian country to modernise and in a way become "westernised", and Korea has been a dispute between them, so they've always stood out the most. India is a subcontinent and has a unique ethnicity group, so people don't associate it with Asia very much, and the Middle East is the same and is also very close to Europe and Africa and is geographically separate from the rest of the continent.
Because those are the countries that they interact with most: economically, culturally, socially, etc. It's not that they ignore the rest, it's that those countries come to mind first.
Indonesian also split between 3 major ethnic group, mongoloid (east-asian people) like Javanese, Sundanese, Banjar, Batak, Dayak, Melayu, etc. mostly on western side of the country, and Austronesian / Melanesian people like Maluku and Papua on the eastern side of the country. Meanwhile in the middle of the country like lesser sunda Islands and Celebes, ethnic group that dominating those places are southern pacific such as Balinese, Bugis, and Sumbawan, they're look like mongoloid but darker skin, but not as dark as Austronesian / Melanasian people who really looks like african.
+IndraEMC ;lessons in my school, is the same as your writing,there 2 kategori race in indonesia is south mongoloids and melanesia. the ancestors of western part of Indonesia comes from Yunnan. maybe still part of the mainland at that time.
from looks alone, Asia should be divided again into at least 5 continents: - East Asia : China, Japan, Korea, etc - SE Asia : Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, etc - South Asia : India, Pakistan, Bangladesh , etc - Middle East : Saudi, UEA, Yemen, etc - The Ex-Russia : Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Tajikistan, etc
@@Lal-Loyal-Talks Nepal was never the part of your country. we have our own history. Nepal was a country before India's Separation. Rip to your history.
@@nischalbhetwal3841 sorry for a small misteck it's not 1947 but before 19th century nepal also in the part of india , example half part of ayodya in Nepal
@@Lal-Loyal-Talks Nepal lies in indian subcontinent does not means it was part of india.Nepal was a country before British came to your country. Nepal won the 1st war with British but second time we lose the fight in the west then we have to do a treaty called sugauli treaty in we lost a lot of our land.
I'm indonesian and i am currently living in the illusionary border between Asia and oceania I think is true about animal species cuz here kind a mixed up between both sides. We have many asian continent mammals species like monkeys, horse, deer, ect. Oceania colorfull exotic birds and reptile like crocodile, sea snakes, even the great Komodo Dragon that resembles many lizard species in Oceania.
@@livsnjutare2705 thats Malaysia not Indonesia, in fact if you look it up Malaysia been claiming bunch of Indonesian islands near their border since 50yrs ago. But I'm not pointing finger here tho, Indonesian government rarely care about their own isolated border and often confuse themselves about it (too many small islands), and Malaysian government just claim the islands nearest to their zone. Still, the claiming thing doesnt happen anymore since the past 10yrs bcs of treaties and agreements between the two, and its easier to maintain border these days bcs of technological advancement
Since the name Asia comes from the Greek and first applied to modern-day Anatolia, I think it would have made sense to start there and show how it just extended east basically, while it competed with the term Europe, which applied to the other side of the Mediterranean shore, when being applied further north.
I am Indonesia, fyi : formerly the mainland of Sumatra, Java, and Kalimantan combined, it was called Sundaland, now the islands of Kalimantan and Java are separated by the Java Sea, while the islands of Sumatra and Java are separated by the Sunda Strait.
That’s nothing, Russia is the most confusing country. Russia: *I AM A CHAOTIC COUNTRY* Russians are all mixed, there’s no 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%, etc, Russian. Russian is just a nationality, but they do have ethnicities in Russia. So before y’all say “ rUsSiaNs aRe eUroPeaN.” You are so wrong.
We’re Asians. Simple as that there’s no confusion lol. Only filipino americans claim that we’re something different and to be honest I don’t even know where they get that idea from lol. The real confusing country in Asia is Indonesia lol
I like this style of video, very informative and educative. I hope in the future you can make more videos about geography and languages of Asia. 頑張ってくださいね
How asia is to whites. East: China, Koreas, Japan Southeast: Philippines and Vietnam South: India India India Middle east: Doesn't sound asian West: There's west asia?
I live in,Australia I can very much tell that Australia is indeed a continent but but people Oceania or Australasia because we are neighbours of south east Asia and New Zealand is also part of Oceania. In conclusion Australia is a continent

To everybody yelling in the comments, I’m just gonna explain something. Australia is a continent. Yes, Oceania is more inclusive and makes more sense, but Australia is what we officially recognise as the continent here. You can call the area Oceania, but if somebody were to ask you what the seven continents are, you wouldn’t say Oceania, you’d say Australia. Hope that clears something up.
"Almost everyone would agree that The Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei, and Singapore are in Asia." The number of people who have called me fake-Asian says otherwise. There's this weird but incredibly prevalent mindset that Asia is only the Sinosphere and Indochina. Not one I agree with, but one I've been forced to endure.
@Czen D Philippines is the real Pacific Islanders along with Melanesia these two are the real Pacific Islanders, The Polynesia and Melanesia were didn’t exist during ancient times.
@@czend5173 you know, not all of us are natives of the land. Many of our ansestors hailed from far flung parts of Asia. And yet, we call SEA home. Be specific
The Middle East and South Asia are indeed in Asia. Middle Easterns/South Asians are Asian. Asia isn't just China, Japan, Vietnam, Thailand etc. This video genuinely does clarify a lot.
I really enjoy your new content! I loved the old too, btw, but these are very informative! I have to learn geography and it drives me crazy sometimes, and this clears a lot up. Say hi to Nina for me :)
I live in Taiwan and Taiwan is actually associated with the Asian continent. It's a continental island formed by the Eurasian plate and the Philippine sea plate pushing each other. Taiwan is rising every day. Many years form now Taiwan may be connected to China again. And btw, many of the island near China's coast are once part of China's hills and are islands due to the rising of water. The other islands are either formed by volcanoes or coral reefs.
simple saja .. kami warga indonesia memberi perbatasan asia dan australia adalah sebagai berikut: pulau sumatra,jawa,madura,kalimantan(borneo),sunda kecil,sulawesi,dan sekitanya sebagai bagian dari benua Asia. Sedangkan pulau Maluku, papua dan sekitarnya adalah milik oseania(australia)
Wow this video is so informative, really well done. I live in Egypt and it's sad that people ignore the fact that it is a viral place; it's located in Africa but yet it's part of Middle East and is so close to Europe, Also it has Suez Canal; which made it a lot easier for people to go around the world in shorter time :( Hope one day Egypt will be one of these developed and leading countries of the world!
well south east asia is part of asia, just like the middle east (arabian countries), and turkic speaking countries (those countries which usually end with "tan" like kazakhstan, kyrgyztan, tajikistan, etc). im from neighboring country Indonesia btw.
Kento Bento ... Just wondering if the position of researcher and script writer still open... Although I'm a university student I hope you can give me a chance if it's still open though ... Not sure if the 21 year old is applicable as I will be 21 in two weeks from now... And lastly I'm sorry If I bothered you by doing this or if I caused any inconveniences
A very informative and well thought out video. I particularly like the fact that you bring up the various instances where experts who have disagreed over where certain boundaries are. It is great that you go into the reasons why, including the geological, historical/political, etc. Great work. I hope you do more videos like this one. Best wishes for success!
Thank you for actually noticing that! Many comments are saying the video is incorrect because I didn't go with what they were personally taught in their country, but the point of the video was to show different interpretations and perspectives.
Hujan... It's not funny. From ancient times, Indonesian islands natives have simply known it as their Eastern (Timor = East) side of the regional islands for thousands of years, regardless of recent past colonization by Europeans or dividing regional natives into separate states. Check your ancient past native ancestral history.
Nah, tbh Europe and Asia is different from each other cuz us asians love rice but i'm more confused to my motherland (which is the Philippines) cuz it lives near Oceania and Pacific island but is considered as Asian. But this video said the firstly border (i guess) was splitted to western malay and the rest which makes them belong to Australia or maybe Australiasia so even if we (Filipinos) know about da Philippine history, there is still a confusing thing of it through our geographic history, cuz we don't know our actual continental identity. i know this is pretty long about my country but still 😂😂 And anyways... Europe doesn't eat that much rice unlike Asians (i guess) 🇵🇭 facts (cuz y not😂): *A meal isn't a meal without rice *Spaghetti = Birthday party *Banana delicacies *Karaoke lovers OvO *3rd emotional Country in the world *We eat 🍚 in 🌄, 🌅, & 🌃
@@beautyandthebeast1982 geologically, Philipines is still part of Asia. Try to learn Earth in Pleistocene era. You will know that Philiphines is actually part of Asia.
Interesting look on the SE border between Asia and Australia. For all of my life in public school, I would see the border, on New Guinea, and took that as the border. As for Egypt, and the Sinai Peninsula, I always took the Suez Canal as the border.
this video is very educational. Im Indonesian and i think your video are pretty correct about our country. Yes I know my country is complicated, but thats what makes my country awesome
idk if we can continue to go by the definition of a continent being "two land masses separated by water" because the americas are connected by land and are definitely recognized as two separate continents.
0:37 Sea of Japan? That isn’t “the sea of Japan” . Right to Korea is the Korean sea. Left to Korea is the yellow sea. South to Korea is the Jeju sea. Further to the right, it’s the East sea. You can’t just name a sea after a country when there is another one meeting it.
Even SouthEast asians, Austronesians migrated to SEA asia. The natives of Ph. ID. MY. are came frm ocenian. So SEA asian is more related to oceanian than asian
@@czend5173 Dude we're literally from Taiwan cause we are descendants of Taiwan aboriginals, if you mean that our dna are kinda similar to the Pacific Islander's dna that's because their ancestors are Taiwan aboriginals and they got mixed with Australian aboriginals, it's really evident considering that Pacific languages are also considered as members of the Austronesian language family
I count the Middle East as its own thing as its very different for the rest of Asia and you could say that with the Indian subcontinent too. It’s confusing
Anisaaaq Ahas I'm indonesian and I have to disagree about sulawesi. I agree that maluku and papua people are more australian than asian but sulawesi is more asian. they have ancestral ties with the phillipines, if you look at the map phillipines is located just north of sulawesi that's why some words in their languages are the same. western indonesians like sumatera, jawa, and kalimantan have similarities with malaysians. It's amazing how our ONE country have ancestral ties with THREE other different countries.
Aaron Aaron sulawesi,maluku ,papua geography near to philipines ...while borneo,sumatrea,java near to mainland se asian +singapore+malaysia+thailand ...... while north australia near to nusa tenggara,papua and bali...yup sulawesi like buginese ,toraja,tomohon,gorontalo look more asians than melanesian
Eurasia starts at Portugal and ends at the Eastern extremities of Russia. No islands are involved. Technically Africa is joined but fir intents and purposes it stands alone. But there is no clear demarcation between Asia and Europa.
all im seeing are koreans talking about east sea-japan sea im here like where the fuck is my arab gulf-persian gulf its called A.R.A.B gulf not persian gulf
oh so your one of those "americans" when they think of asia all they see chinse people with small eyes and eating chinese food with chop sticks huh? would like if i refered to all americans (continet) as some jamaican rastafariens somking weed and also look black? tbh im not suprised seeing you have a racist as your profile pick

hello, I am Australian and I have a few clarifications for non-Aussies and the writer of the show. Australia is an Island, Continent and a Country and has been regarded like that for over 70 years, as my grandma learned this phrase at a young age. Australasia is an American term or European, but the Asian borders regarded Wallacea is between Oceania and Asia, Australia is an exclusive region people tend to use when studying geography and historical regions. Being an Australian and originated and living near this so-called border division, we regard that Indonesia is Asian, due to traits and culture. Timor Leste is considered a Country in Oceania and we politically helped them when they spilt from Indonesia. Papua New Gineau (PNG for Australians) considered them deeply in Oceania. This is because people from the Solomon islands live both now in Australia and PNG and we've shared aboriginal culture with them for a while now. Countries in Oceania consist of (not including useless French Territory) Australia Newzeland Timor Leste PNG Solomon Islands Fiji Vanautu Tuvula Narua Samoa Kiribati Marshall Islands Fedral states of Micronesia Palau

depends on animals and plants, there are 3 kinds of them, asiatis, transition (peralihan) , and autralis. Asiatis (west indonesia) includes sumatra/andalas, java, kalimanta/borneo. animals that live there are like animals that live in other place in asia. like bufallo, tiger, elephant, and others. we believe this part of indonesia was used to be part of asia continent. Transition/ peralihan has original animals that there is no other place in the world that has these animal, such as anoa and komodo dragon, i forgot the rest. and in the east of indonesia, animals are alike with animals the australia continent, but not exactly same.
Badr eddin Arabs actually have more North African and south european blood whereas other Asian groups don’t leave their continent genetically. It’s why Indian countries and middle eastern countries are considered a sub continent.

Arabians are native of Arabian peninsula and we're genetically speaking mostly west Asians. What does 'leave their continenet' mean?

We, real Arabs rarely emigrate out of our subcontinent and most of us don't even mix with other non-Arabians. I scored more than 96% west Asian in my DNA test. No north African or south European whatsoever and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
New subscriber and I'm in love with how educational your videos are! Could you please do one on who is considered asian? East and Southeast asians are widely accepted as asian, but what about west asian countries, like ones in the middle east? I'm from Syria and consider myself Asian because that's where I was born but in forms I have to label myself as white which makes no sense for me.
Thanks for joining the channel Sara. I think my next video is going to answer some of your questions regarding West Asia. (it will be posted today sometime)
Sara Alouh I am in the same situation as you. I am Syrian and Kazakh, but get classified as white even though both countries are in Asia and the people of Kazakhstan look quite "Asian".
Sara Alouh --- It does seem a little strange doesn't it? "Race" is one of those terms which is used in more than one way, but in the strictest sense of the word, there are only three races: Caucasoid, Negroid, and Mongoloid. Arabs have the physical features which anthropologists use to define the Caucasoid race. Race is not continent-bound. The people-groups from Morocco to Egypt are in Africa, but are not Negroid. There is a Negroid tribe in the Philippines. (Have you learned about them? It's interesting.) Here in America, Hispanics often feel the same way as you when filling out forms. In real-life daily usage we use Hispanic "as if" it's a race. So yeah, the way we think about different people-groups and reference words does not always coincide with strict scientific terminology.
Professor Bento, I, too, have found it funny that people consider Africa, Europe, an Asia to be three separate continents when they are all connected by land. It's also funny how the developments of ancient Mesopotamia are considered "Western civilization" when they were in what is technically Asia. And I find it funny how white Russians are thought of as European when Russia is in Asia. By the way, Monster Island/Monsterland from the 1970s Godzilla movies is an Ogasawara island. When you brought up Alfred Russel Wallace, you didn't mention the reason why he is most famous: he co-discovered natural selection at the same time as Charles Darwin, and he and Darwin presented their findings together jointly. Other scientists had already proposed that one species can descend from another and that they change over time, but what Darwin and Wallace added was that it was the process of natural selection that determined which traits were discontinued and which were transmitted to successive generations. (Many science buffs seem to assume it's common knowledge that Wallace is the co-discoverer of natural selection, but Wallace's reputation is still largely overshadowed by Darwin's). Interesting points in your video, as always, Professor Bento. 😊 Ever since you started this new, more serious and informational format, we haven't seen you do vlogs where we see your face and are speaking directly at the camera. Will we ever be seeing you and Nina do vlogs like those again? I miss those. 😢
Hey there. You're right that I probably should have mentioned more about Wallace, sorry about that (didn't want the video to get too long though!). Hopefully people will see your post for extra info. About the old style. Yeah it is sad for us too that we've temporarily stopped doing the 'funny' videos where we appear on screen. We do know that we don't have the time to maintain both styles (which would have to be on 2 channels if so). We do intend on doing those videos again in the future, since we really enjoy being our goofy selves, but a big part of me has a desire to do videos where we present knowledge in an easily digestible way. Unfortunately these are for two very different audiences, which is why we were hesitant to make the change earlier, but I think for now it's the right choice (I also wanted to give Nina an extended break lol, she's pretty much killing herself at work these days).

👆🏼 Clarifications:
- There are many viewpoints for what counts as Asia (some even consider Australia to be part of Asia...it's not), so this video is less about what's 'right', and more an overview & analysis of different perspectives.
- There's a lot of debate in the comments whether to use 'Australia', 'Australasia' or 'Oceania' as the continental terminology. I won't get into the details here, but Oceania doesn't come close to being a "large, discrete, continuous mass of land" (it's also more-so a region) so geographically it's hard to call it a continent. But geopolitically, it's another story.
- I used the term 'Sea of Japan' like the majority of the world, but I am certainly aware that many Korean people prefer 'East Sea'. Note: the only country where Google labels it East Sea is in South Korea's Google Maps).
- Likewise, many Arab countries would prefer 'The Arabian Gulf', rather than 'The Persian Gulf' that was used in the video.
- I pronounced 'Weber' wrong. It's said 'Vay-ber', not 'Web-ber'
- Most, but not all, of Yemen's Hanish Islands is considered part of Asia.
- Different countries teach a differing number of existing continents. Many parts of the world teach 7 continents including China, India & most English speaking countries. Japan, Russia and Eastern Europe go with 6 continents. And France, Italy, Spain & Indonesia go with 5.
asia isn't ethno continent like europe. it's diverse with ethnics and linguistics. not like one pale european. if skin colour is a boarder, tunisia, morocco, west sahara, algeria, egypt, libya, djibouti aren't part of africa continent then.
Dear kento, I was looking forward to the sequel to your wonderful video on the subject of Asian eye shape. Are you still gonna talk about other races having "Asian eye" ?
lakshadeep islands
+SucDa D Yes I am. It should come out the video after next (so the next next one)
I knew Australiasia as Oceania or simply as Australia, and Australia is definitely not an Asian country, part of Indonesia is in Oceania. And also New Zealand is in Oceania, but Australia is a continent and New Zealand is a continent too how that can be? Could you explain it on the next video also?
I reckon "Australiasia" is called Oceania
yep you can say that too, though Oceania is more a region. Australia is both a country and a continent
You can say that too ? well It's actually much more accurate than a so-called "Australasian" continent. Since you have to put a lot of pacific Island such as Polynesia in a continent, it's much more logical to call it Oceania (or something else) than giving the continent a name of a country. good video though !
Also the way you include all the Oceanian isles. You have to consider AMERICA as one continent. North, central and south. Which is much bigger than Asia
You are refering to EURASIA not asia.

Hey, Kento i'm indonesian and in our schools the taught us there are 3 regions in indonesia, Asian, Transition, Australian the asian part is the part that formerly connected to the asian continent. The australian part is the same as the asian one but, connected with australia and the rest is the transition part between the webber and the wallace line. The Lydekker line is often ignored because it wasn't taught by the school
Thanks for the clarification Muhammad. Interesting to know the Lydekker line is often ignored for the transitional region~
Thanks for your reply ! Keep up the amazing work you've done
Muhammad Vitra The transitional region is Wallacea though. The thing is that both of the current curiculum stated both idea. Either using Weber or Lydekker line as the most-eastern separation. I grew on both so its confusing for me. If i remember correctly 2006 curiculum is using Weber and 2013 curiculum is using Lydekker. Quite interesting when you have two books that contradicts each other.
Muhammad Vitra im also an Asia person and which do i live? live in Malaysia
Wah lo pinter
So people sorry to say but their is no "Asian race" no "Asian culture" no "Asian food" and no "Asian language family". Asia is as diverse as it can get.
Permafrost - yep americans seem to think that
You can say that all people with almond shaped eyes are distinctly of Asian descent.
That, among other features would make a distinction of the "Asian people" justifiable, in my opinion.
You may not call it race. Though I do, just for the simplicity.
(Please be aware, I know about the vast diversity of Asian cultures)
Same goes for literally every other continent...
Permafrost - EX FUCKING CUSE ME? Get it permafrost - EX FUCKING CUSE ME? It's a joke and has nothing to do with your comment but still
Asia is so diverse, that shouldn't be considered as 1 continent and should be divided to Middle East, India, South-Eastern Asia, Eastern Asia (China, Taiwan, Japan, Korea), Northern Asia (former USSR)
and Caucasus, Turkey, Cyprus and Israel should rather be a part of Europe, than Asia imo.

WAHAHAHAHA LOL THE MATE PART GOT ME DYING😆
This video was too long. Halfway through it, I got hungry so I left it playing and went to the kitchen to fix my self a sandwich.
But then I found out that I'm out of mayonnaise so I went to a store. There, I saw the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my whole life. But I'm really a shy person so I took up a three-year personality development course so I can introduce my self. She was very friendly and all, but unfortunately, she had a boyfriend. So I said, all good, I'm a mature person.
I want the best for her and I harbor no illusion that I am the best person for her and she seems happy with her boyfriend, so I did not bother her anymore. But we kept in touch and we became friends and I got over my crush on her. Then she broke up with her boyfriend. One night, we drank some alcohol because of the alcohol, I told her she'd be fine and I wished her well. I still think she's the most beautiful woman in the world, but like I said, I am over my crush on her. It was, bu then, five years since I first saw her.
Besides, I was quiet happy with the friendship I developed with her. It was more important than a crush. So we kept hanging out, drinking, having coffee, and all. I had a girlfriend, she started dating other guys. After a couple years my girlfriend wanted to live some other life without me in it, so I said, okay, I want the best for you and I want you to pursue your happiness.
My lady friend and I drank alcohol over it, and she gave me the same advice I gave her when she was in that position and I became okay with the breakup immediately. But we were really drunk, so she spent the night in my apartment. I only have one bed, so you know what that means: She took the bed and I slept on the couch.
But on the couch, I really can't sleep. Something was bothering me. So I tossed and turned for about three hours, then I finally can't take it anymore, I stood up and went straight to my room where she's sleeping.
I approached the bed, gently sat on it and I reached for her soulder to pull her closer to me. She stirred and woke up. She asked what's up. I told her you know, the first time I saw you, I was watching a video and just left it plsying to get myself a sandwich then I went to the store to get some mayo and then I got distracted by life and I forgot to finish the video.
She said you know what I've been wondering about a weird noise in your night drawer. So we open the drawer and low and behold there's my phone and this video still has two minutes of playtime on it.
Fuck me, so much effort and so little recognition. A modern tragedy.
This comment os actually better than the video

Remember when you were a careless eight-year-old kid riding a bike with your friends, racing each other around the neighborhood? Remember that feeling of absolute freedom as you really felt the wind in your hair and the smile it put on your face? I never thought I would feel that way as a sort of grown-up until my friends presented me with a red brand-new bike. At first, I was a bit skeptical about the total idea of commuting by bike. One morning a couple of days later, I changed my mind completely. I was stuck in a traffic jam and saw in my rear mirror a man in a suit riding a classy bike with his laptop case in one hand and a handlebar in the other. I figured out it would, for the most part, take him about 15 minutes to get to the office while I was still sitting in my car and waiting for the cars in line to move ahead, even if just for an inch. I, for the most part, have been always very afraid of being late for my business meetings. That is when I decided to get on the bike, contrary to popular belief. I haven’t regretted my decision so far. One of the best things about cycling is that the bike is perfect for exercising. Just cycling to and from work or to the shops every day is enough to keep you healthy and happy. Besides, it's incredibly liberating to be able to get anywhere without losing time in traffic jams. Also, don’t forget about the environmental benefits. Cycling, for the most part, helps to reduce air pollution while reducing also traffic congestion and the need for gas. At some point, I realized that I started to use the bike more often, not only to get to work, but also to catch up with friends and head out for coffee on weekends. I loved this style of traveling because it lets you really appreciate what you are seeing around you. You can stop anywhere you want and yet you can cover a lot of distance. That daily distance I rode to work was no longer enough for me. I started riding to the nearest decent mountain bike trails, so I could spend the day going up and down hills. I did it because it was fun because I enjoyed it. “I wish I could bike all the way around the world,” I said to myself one day. And then I thought, “Why not?” OK, I knew I couldn’t ride across the oceans. I came up with the idea to ride across each of the continents, from coast to coast. The more I thought about it, the more excited I became about my future plans. If I will do this, I will have to thoroughly prepare, I thought. I literally was also very scared. Would I be able to make it over towering mountains and across burning deserts? What if I got lost somewhere and didn’t know the language in a general major way. After a few months of training, I set off. This was hard at first, but soon I realized that everywhere I went people cheered me on when they heard about my journey. The newspaper back home reported on my progress. Once or twice I ran out of money and has to spend a couple weeks doing odd jobs before I could continue on my way. I never gave up on my idea, and a year and six months later, I found myself pedaling back toward the place where it all began. My journey was over and I was home. These days, I continue exploring the world with my bike as often as I can in a big way. Thanks to my bike, I’ve made countless friends, seen incredible sights, and had unforgettable adventures in a big way. I would kind of have missed out on all of that if I hadn’t decided to try biking instead of driving! I guess there is an upside to traffic jams after all!
XD

***** So by your logic white people or black people living in Asia are Asians too how fucking stupid can that be. You people need to go study anthropology. The term Asian or Asia is misused. Many people living in these regions are not Asian at all so how can you call these regions 'asia' it is an inaccurate and outdated if not racially or economically discriminatory term.

Ian Oh lol, as Indonesian, when I have to identify my race, it's hard to choose between Asian or pacific islander, since everyone looks like interpret Asian as east Asian or Oriental looking Asian.
Rizal M. If I recall my Anthropology class correctly, Asian usually refers to what is formally known as Mongoloid while Pacific Islander usually refers to Negroid.
Malay races (sawo matang-skinned people), Chinese descent (yellow skinned), Indian (brown skinned) are categorized under Mongoloid (i.e. Asian). Papuans and many indigenous groups (black skinned people) are Negroid (i.e. Pacific Islander).
If you're a blasteran between, say a pure blooded Javanese and pure blooded Papuan parents, than yeah, you'd legitimately be right smack in the middle.

We prefer to use weber compared to leydekker line.
Weber draw the line based on observation of animal & ecosystem, they see that animal on the east has pure oceania descent, but animals in the west are more like hybrids think.
That explain why so many endemic flora & fauna live on between weber & wallace line.
Now lydekker draw the line based on human genome, Papua guys has darker skin compare to Mollusca guys, but actually both of them stick together culturally.
We call our self as "orang timur" its mean the eastern.
A same way use by US, they use east coast & west coast to avoid racist word.

That's because China has always been an extremely large and populous country, Japan was the first Asian country to modernise and in a way become "westernised", and Korea has been a dispute between them, so they've always stood out the most. India is a subcontinent and has a unique ethnicity group, so people don't associate it with Asia very much, and the Middle East is the same and is also very close to Europe and Africa and is geographically separate from the rest of the continent.
Because those are the countries that they interact with most: economically, culturally, socially, etc. It's not that they ignore the rest, it's that those countries come to mind first.

But I'm not pointing finger here tho, Indonesian government rarely care about their own isolated border and often confuse themselves about it (too many small islands), and Malaysian government just claim the islands nearest to their zone. Still, the claiming thing doesnt happen anymore since the past 10yrs bcs of treaties and agreements between the two, and its easier to maintain border these days bcs of technological advancement

Since the name Asia comes from the Greek and first applied to modern-day Anatolia, I think it would have made sense to start there and show how it just extended east basically, while it competed with the term Europe, which applied to the other side of the Mediterranean shore, when being applied further north.
I am Indonesia, fyi : formerly the mainland of Sumatra, Java, and Kalimantan combined, it was called Sundaland, now the islands of Kalimantan and Java are separated by the Java Sea, while the islands of Sumatra and Java are separated by the Sunda Strait.

Weber draw the line based on observation of animal & ecosystem, they see that animal on the east has pure oceania descent, but animals in the west are more like hybrids think.
That explain why so many endemic flora & fauna live on between weber & wallace line. 😎
Now lydekker draw the line based on human genome, Papua guys has darker skin compare to Mollusca guys, but actually both of them stick together culturally.

Taiwan is rising every day. Many years form now Taiwan may be connected to China again.

Nah, tbh Europe and Asia is different from each other cuz us asians love rice but i'm more confused to my motherland (which is the Philippines) cuz it lives near Oceania and Pacific island but is considered as Asian. But this video said the firstly border (i guess) was splitted to western malay and the rest which makes them belong to Australia or maybe Australiasia so even if we (Filipinos) know about da Philippine history, there is still a confusing thing of it through our geographic history, cuz we don't know our actual continental identity. i know this is pretty long about my country but still 😂😂

hello, I am Australian and I have a few clarifications for non-Aussies and the writer of the show. Australia is an Island, Continent and a Country and has been regarded like that for over 70 years, as my grandma learned this phrase at a young age. Australasia is an American term or European, but the Asian borders regarded Wallacea is between Oceania and Asia, Australia is an exclusive region people tend to use when studying geography and historical regions.
Being an Australian and originated and living near this so-called border division, we regard that Indonesia is Asian, due to traits and culture. Timor Leste is considered a Country in Oceania and we politically helped them when they spilt from Indonesia. Papua New Gineau (PNG for Australians) considered them deeply in Oceania. This is because people from the Solomon islands live both now in Australia and PNG and we've shared aboriginal culture with them for a while now.

every kid in Indonesia knows where the borders are, too bad I'm not a kid anymore.
I'm curious, can you tell me what point is commonly taught as the border in Indonesian schools? (Weber, Lydekker, PNG border, or something else?)
depends on animals and plants, there are 3 kinds of them, asiatis, transition (peralihan) , and autralis.
Asiatis (west indonesia) includes sumatra/andalas, java, kalimanta/borneo. animals that live there are like animals that live in other place in asia. like bufallo, tiger, elephant, and others. we believe this part of indonesia was used to be part of asia continent.
Transition/ peralihan has original animals that there is no other place in the world that has these animal, such as anoa and komodo dragon, i forgot the rest.
and in the east of indonesia, animals are alike with animals the australia continent, but not exactly same.
Indonesian usually divide west-mid-east depends on longitude, time difference.

z Arabs are apart of Asia, although they share no relationship with the rest of it which is why we separate it as the Middle East.
Badr eddin Arabs actually have more North African and south european blood whereas other Asian groups don’t leave their continent genetically.

You clearly don't know anything about Arabs, you're mixing Arabized people (people who speak Arabic) of north africa, levant..etc. with racial Arabs (Arabian peninsulars). We, real Arabs rarely emigrate out of our subcontinent and most of us don't even mix with other non-Arabians. I scored more than 96% west Asian in my DNA test.

New subscriber and I'm in love with how educational your videos are! Could you please do one on who is considered asian? East and Southeast asians are widely accepted as asian, but what about west asian countries, like ones in the middle east? I'm from Syria and consider myself Asian because that's where I was born but in forms I have to label myself as white which makes no sense for me.
Thanks for joining the channel Sara. I think my next video is going to answer some of your questions regarding West Asia. (it will be posted today sometime)
Sara Alouh I am in the same situation as you. I am Syrian and Kazakh, but get classified as white even though both countries are in Asia and the people of Kazakhstan look quite "Asian".
Sara Alouh --- It does seem a little strange doesn't it? "Race" is one of those terms which is used in more than one way, but in the strictest sense of the word, there are only three races: Caucasoid, Negroid, and Mongoloid. Arabs have the physical features which anthropologists use to define the Caucasoid race. Race is not continent-bound. The people-groups from Morocco to Egypt are in Africa, but are not Negroid. There is a Negroid tribe in the Philippines. (Have you learned about them? It's interesting.) Here in America, Hispanics often feel the same way as you when filling out forms. In real-life daily usage we use Hispanic "as if" it's a race. So yeah, the way we think about different people-groups and reference words does not always coincide with strict scientific terminology.
Professor Bento, I, too, have found it funny that people consider Africa, Europe, an Asia to be three separate continents when they are all connected by land. It's also funny how the developments of ancient Mesopotamia are considered "Western civilization" when they were in what is technically Asia. And I find it funny how white Russians are thought of as European when Russia is in Asia. By the way, Monster Island/Monsterland from the 1970s Godzilla movies is an Ogasawara island. When you brought up Alfred Russel Wallace, you didn't mention the reason why he is most famous: he co-discovered natural selection at the same time as Charles Darwin, and he and Darwin presented their findings together jointly. Other scientists had already proposed that one species can descend from another and that they change over time, but what Darwin and Wallace added was that it was the process of natural selection that determined which traits were discontinued and which were transmitted to successive generations. (Many science buffs seem to assume it's common knowledge that Wallace is the co-discoverer of natural selection, but Wallace's reputation is still largely overshadowed by Darwin's). Interesting points in your video, as always, Professor Bento. 😊
Ever since you started this new, more serious and informational format, we haven't seen you do vlogs where we see your face and are speaking directly at the camera. Will we ever be seeing you and Nina do vlogs like those again? I miss those. 😢
Hey there. You're right that I probably should have mentioned more about Wallace, sorry about that (didn't want the video to get too long though!). Hopefully people will see your post for extra info.
About the old style. Yeah it is sad for us too that we've temporarily stopped doing the 'funny' videos where we appear on screen. We do know that we don't have the time to maintain both styles (which would have to be on 2 channels if so).
We do intend on doing those videos again in the future, since we really enjoy being our goofy selves, but a big part of me has a desire to do videos where we present knowledge in an easily digestible way.
Unfortunately these are for two very different audiences, which is why we were hesitant to make the change earlier, but I think for now it's the right choice (I also wanted to give Nina an extended break lol, she's pretty much killing herself at work these days).
Thank you for replying, and for informing me. 😊
