| 例句 | In contrast, most big mammals of Africa and Eurasia survived into modern times, because they had coevolved with protohumans for hundreds of thousands or millions of years. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z A second factor is a corresponding, though less extreme, disparity between sub-Saharan Africa and Eurasia in domesticable plants. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z That is, cattle were domesticated independently in India and western Eurasia, within the last 10,000 years, starting with wild Indian and western Eurasian cattle subspecies that had diverged hundreds of thousands of years earlier. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z The most direct contribution of plant and animal domestication to wars of conquest was from Eurasia’s horses, whose military role made them the jeeps and Sherman tanks of ancient warfare on that continent. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z First, western Eurasia has by far the world’s largest zone of Mediterranean climate. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z However, many parts of Eurasia did have quite a few of these 13 species living together in the same area: for example, seven of the wild ancestors occurred in Southwest Asia. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z How can we explain the concentration of the Ancient Fourteen in Eurasia? Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z Second, military technology was far more potent in Eurasia than in the Americas. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z Perhaps those cycles of colonization, adaptation, and population explosion were what selected for the Great Leap Forward, which then diffused back westward to Eurasia and Africa. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z Tribal and band societies in Eurasia were largely confined to the Arctic reindeer herders, the Siberian hunter-gatherers, and the hunter-gatherer enclaves in the Indian subcontinent and tropical Southeast Asia. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z The distance between Mesoamerica and South America—say, between Mexico’s highlands and Ecuador’s—is only 1,200 miles, approximately the same as the distance in Eurasia separating the Balkans from Mesopotamia. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z Thanks to all these factors, Eurasia was the continent on which technology started its post-Pleistocene acceleration earliest and resulted in the greatest local accumulation of technologies. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z One would certainly assume that the colonization of Asia also permitted the simultaneous colonization of Europe, since Eurasia is a single landmass not bisected by major barriers. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z That’s because Eurasia is the world’s largest landmass, and it’s also very diverse ecologically, with habitats ranging from extensive tropical rain forests, through temperate forests, deserts, and marshes, to equally extensive tundras. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z Otherwise, all the remainder of Africa’s domestic mammals must have been domesticated elsewhere and introduced as domesticates to Africa, because their wild ancestors occur only in Eurasia. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z Modern pigs are derived from independent sequences of domestication in China, western Eurasia, and possibly other areas as well. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z He also remembered Eurasia and Eastasia; but who was at war with whom he did not know. 1984 1949-06-08T00:00:00Z But in western Eurasia only one of several potentially useful wild species was domesticated—probably because that one spread so quickly that people soon stopped gathering the other wild relatives and ate only the crop. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z They reflect, instead, the orientation of Eurasia’s axis compared with that of the Americas or Africa. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z On the other hand, the ultimate explanations—for example, why bronze tools appeared early in parts of Eurasia, late and only locally in the New World, and never in Aboriginal Australia—remain unclear. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z Eurasia harbored many domestic animal species and hence developed many such microbes, while the Americas had very few of each. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z Much as historians of early Eurasia focus on the Tigris-Euphrates, Nile, Indus, and Huang He Valleys, historians of the Americas focus on Mesoamerica and the Andes. 1491 2005-10-10T00:00:00Z Eurasia’s native cows, sheep, goats, horses, and pigs were among the world’s few large wild animal species to pass all those tests. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z Quantitative data should also be assembled to test my preliminary calculations suggesting differing rates of diffusion along the major axes of Eurasia, the Americas, and Africa. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z A caveat must be mentioned immediately: while there is no doubt about the antiquity of food production in Eurasia, there is controversy about its onset in the Americas. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z These extinctions were much more severe in Australia and the Americas than in Eurasia or Africa. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z Why Eurasia’s pigs, but not American peccaries or Africa’s three species of true wild pigs? Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z Mammoths had flourished for millions of years over most of the northern hemisphere, but as Homo sapiens spread—first over Eurasia and then over North America—the mammoths retreated. Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind 2011-01-01T00:00:00Z In contrast to Eurasia’s consistent east-west breadth, the New World was constricted over the whole length of Central America and especially at Panama. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z War prisoners apart, the average citizen of Oceania never sets eyes on a citizen of either Eurasia or Eastasia, and he is forbidden the knowledge of foreign languages. 1984 1949-06-08T00:00:00Z In the end he succeeded in forcing her memory back until she did dimly recall that at one time Eastasia and not Eurasia had been the enemy. 1984 1949-06-08T00:00:00Z Of course, not all 13 of these wild ancestral species occurred together throughout Eurasia. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z Those homelands were the Fertile Crescent and China in Eurasia, and the Andes and Amazonia, Mesoamerica, and the eastern United States in the Americas. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z Thus, as far as plant and animal domestication was concerned, the head start and high diversity lay with Eurasia, not with Africa. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z Within the last 6,000 years it has been easiest from Eurasia to sub-Saharan Africa, supplying most of Africa’s species of livestock. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z Dates for animal domestication neglect dogs, which were domesticated earlier than food-producing animals in both Eurasia and the Americas. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z Even some insects have been domesticated, notably Eurasia’s honeybee and China’s silkworm moth, kept for honey and silk, respectively. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z When Homo sapiens landed in Arabia, most of Eurasia was already settled by other humans. Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind 2011-01-01T00:00:00Z As of 1492, all of those operations to which animal, water, and wind power were being applied in Eurasia were still being carried out by human muscle power in the Americas. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z Those factors seem to me to account for the Americas’ technological lag behind Eurasia. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z Table 9.2 shows that Eurasia has the most candidates, 72 species, just as it has the most species in many other plant and animal groups. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z Neanderthals, bulkier and more muscular than us Sapiens, were well adapted to the cold climate of Ice Age western Eurasia. Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind 2011-01-01T00:00:00Z Whereas many such animals existed in Eurasia, only five animals of any sort became domesticated in the Americas: the turkey in Mexico and the U.S. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z However, even those barriers between China and western Eurasia were at least partly overcome during the second millennium B.C., when West Asian wheat, barley, and horses reached China. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z Until waterwheels and windmills began to replace Eurasia’s mammals in medieval times, they were also the major source of its “industrial” power beyond human muscle power—for example, for turning grindstones and operating water lifts. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z A corresponding example within Eurasia involved the eastern limit of Fertile Crescent crops, which spread rapidly westward to the Atlantic Ocean and eastward to the Indus Valley without encountering a major barrier. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z Of course, the Americas in aggregate are anything but small: their combined area is fully 76 percent that of Eurasia, and their human population as of A.D. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z Eurasia and Mesoamerica developed indigenous writing, which failed to emerge in Polynesia, except perhaps on Easter Island, whose mysterious script may however have postdated the islanders’ contact with Europeans. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z Africa’s long occupation before the colonization of Eurasia a million years ago might have counted for nothing anyway, because protohumans were at such a primitive stage then. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z All of Southwest Asia’s founder crops preempted domestication of any of their close relatives throughout the whole expanse of western Eurasia. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z Here, the results of recent molecular biological studies are illuminating in linking germs to the rise of food production, in Eurasia much more than in the Americas. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z Hence Eurasia ended up with its 13 species of big domestic mammals and the Americas with just its one very local species. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z Why were Eurasia’s horses domesticated, but not Africa’s zebras? Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z The combination of these two factors—a high diversity of species and a high percentage of annuals—means that western Eurasia’s Mediterranean zone is the one with by far the highest diversity of annuals. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z A third factor is that Africa’s area is only about half that of Eurasia. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z Eurasia is protected by its vast land spaces, Oceania by the width of the Atlantic and the Pacific, Eastasia by the fecundity and industriousness of its inhabitants. 1984 1949-06-08T00:00:00Z Africa’s north-south axis posed a further obstacle to the diffusion of technology, both between Eurasia and sub-Saharan Africa and within the sub-Saharan region itself. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z They were most rapid in Eurasia, because of its east-west major axis and its relatively modest ecological and geographical barriers. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z Thus, Eurasia’s west-east axis allowed Fertile Crescent crops quickly to launch agriculture over the band of temperate latitudes from Ireland to the Indus Valley, and to enrich the agriculture that arose independently in eastern Asia. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z If recent reappraisals of the pre-Columbian New World population are correct, it was not far below the contemporary population of Eurasia. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z Australia, the smallest and most isolated continent, has always had far fewer species of big wild mammals than has Eurasia, Africa, or the Americas. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z To Aboriginal Australia, isolated from Eurasia by the water barriers of the Indonesian Archipelago, Eurasia’s sole proven contribution was the dingo. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z Eurasia has the largest number of big terrestrial wild mammal species, whether or not ancestral to a domesticated species. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z First, as regards domestic animals, we’ve already seen that those of sub-Saharan Africa came from Eurasia, with the possible exception of a few from North Africa. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z Similarly, wolves were independently domesticated to become dogs in the Americas and probably in several different parts of Eurasia, including China and Southwest Asia. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z Its east—west major axis permitted many inventions adopted in one part of Eurasia to spread relatively rapidly to societies at similar latitudes and climates elsewhere in Eurasia. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z With hindsight, of course, we know that Eurasia was the one. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z Another extension of human range that soon followed was the one into the coldest parts of Eurasia. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z The answer depends partly on that east-west axis of Eurasia with which I opened this chapter. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z While Eurasia provides the world’s widest band of land at the same latitude, and hence the most dramatic example of rapid spread of domesticates, there are other examples as well. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z As for Eurasia’s head start, humans have occupied Eurasia for about a million years, far longer than they have lived in the Americas. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z The archaeologist might then turn to Eurasia and reason as follows. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z Agriculture was also widespread in the Americas, but hunter-gatherers occupied a larger fraction of the Americas’ area than of Eurasia’s. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z That expansion may have been responsible for the extinction of Eurasia’s woolly mammoth and woolly rhinoceros. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z “I thought we’d always been at war with Eurasia,” she said vaguely. 1984 1949-06-08T00:00:00Z Recall that apples were historically among the most difficult fruit trees to cultivate and among the last major ones to be domesticated in Eurasia, because their propagation requires the difficult technique of grafting. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z While Aboriginal Australians and many Native Americans remained hunter-gatherers, most of Eurasia and much of the Americas and sub-Saharan Africa gradually developed agriculture, herding, metallurgy, and complex political organization. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z These differences stemmed ultimately from Eurasia’s much longer history of densely populated, economically specialized, politically centralized, interacting and competing societies dependent on food production. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z Furthermore, they are overwhelmingly concentrated in the Fertile Crescent or other parts of western Eurasia’s Mediterranean zone, which offered a huge selection to incipient farmers: about 32 of the world’s 56 prize wild grasses! Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z First, Eurasia, befitting its large area and ecological diversity, started out with the most candidates. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z But interhemispheric diffusion made no contribution to Native America’s complex societies, isolated from Eurasia at low latitudes by broad oceans, and at high latitudes by geography and by a climate suitable just for hunting-gathering. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z Naturally, additional factors contributed to history’s diverse courses in different parts of Eurasia. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z He, Winston Smith, knew that Oceania had been in alliance with Eurasia as short a time as four years ago. 1984 1949-06-08T00:00:00Z In addition, just as Eurasia’s east-west axis permitted many of these Chinese animals and crops to spread westward in ancient times, West Asian domesticates also spread eastward to China and became important there. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z The Sahel, Ethiopia, and West Africa did yield indigenous crops, but many fewer varieties than grew in Eurasia. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z The greater geographic fragmentation of the Americas compared with Eurasia is also reflected in distributions of languages. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z After all, every society in Eurasia eventually employed pottery wheels and mill wheels. 1491 2005-10-10T00:00:00Z It was a basic part of life throughout Eurasia. 1491 2005-10-10T00:00:00Z Those extinctions left Eurasia with many more wild candidates for domestication than the Americas offered. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z That west-east expanse of Eurasia is the largest land distance on Earth. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z Today, the total population of Africa is less than 700 million, compared with 4 billion for Eurasia. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z In every imaginable scenario, they left Eurasia before the first whisper of the Neolithic Revolution. 1491 2005-10-10T00:00:00Z Alphabets of ultimately eastern Mediterranean origin spread throughout all complex societies of Eurasia, from England to Indonesia, except for areas of East Asia where derivatives of the Chinese writing system took hold. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z The Great Leap Forward coincides with the first proven major extension of human geographic range since our ancestors’ colonization of Eurasia. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z Even though Rome’s apples were at least native to western Eurasia, they were grown by means of grafting techniques that had developed in China and spread westward from there. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z The horse became the chief means of long-distance transport over most of Eurasia. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z Sub-Saharan Africa has fewer candidates, 51 species, just as it has fewer species in most other plant and animal groups—because it’s smaller and ecologically less diverse than Eurasia. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z Once when he happened in some connection to mention the war against Eurasia, she startled him by saying casually that in her opinion the war was not happening. 1984 1949-06-08T00:00:00Z Contrast also the ease of diffusion in Eurasia with its difficulties along the Americas’ north-south axis. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z By late medieval or Renaissance times, most of Eurasia had come under the rule of organized states. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z Why were the trajectories of all key developments shifted to later dates in the Americas than in Eurasia? Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z Throughout most of human history it was far more accessible to Eurasia than were the Americas, but the Saharan desert is still a major ecological barrier separating sub-Saharan Africa from Eurasia plus North Africa. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z However, each of these new developments appeared earlier in Eurasia than elsewhere. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z What was it about the Americas and Africa that made the spread of food production more difficult there than in Eurasia? Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z It was now impossible for any human being to prove by documentary evidence that the war with Eurasia had ever happened. 1984 1949-06-08T00:00:00Z The Party said that Oceania had never been in alliance with Eurasia. 1984 1949-06-08T00:00:00Z Eurasia and the Americas also differed with respect to plant food production, though the disparity here was less marked than for animal food production. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z For example, medieval Islam, centrally located in Eurasia, acquired inventions from India and China and inherited ancient Greek learning. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z Why did the same plant package launch food production throughout western Eurasia? Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z All these facts indicate that the explanation for the lack of native mammal domestication outside Eurasia lay with the locally available wild mammals themselves, not with the local peoples. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z What advantage did that particular Mediterranean zone of western Eurasia enjoy? Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z Eurasia comprises the whole of the northern part of the European and Asiatic land-mass, from Portugal to the Bering Strait. 1984 1949-06-08T00:00:00Z For his successors, in fact, the main task was not to discover whether Indians’ ancestors had walked over from Eurasia, but which Europeans or Asians had done the walking. 1491 2005-10-10T00:00:00Z For instance, neither farming nor herding developed in prehistoric times in North America’s Arctic, while the sole element of food production to arise in Eurasia’s Arctic was reindeer herding. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z Merely it became known, with extreme suddenness and everywhere at once, that Eastasia and not Eurasia was the enemy. 1984 1949-06-08T00:00:00Z First, when Eurasia’s Major Five domestic mammals reached sub-Saharan Africa, they were adopted by the most diverse African peoples wherever conditions permitted. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z In contrast, villages were closely associated in time with the rise of food production in much of Eurasia. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z After half a million years ago, the human populations of Africa and western Eurasia proceeded to diverge from each other and from East Asian populations in skeletal details. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z Eurasia’s considerable initial advantage thereby was translated into a huge lead as of A.D. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z Foreigners, whether from Eurasia or from Eastasia, were a kind of strange animal. 1984 1949-06-08T00:00:00Z “But you do not! You are not even masters of this planet. What about Eurasia and Eastasia? You have not conquered them yet.” 1984 1949-06-08T00:00:00Z Wolves were domesticated in Eurasia and North America to become our dogs used as hunting companions, sentinels, pets, and, in some societies, food. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z Immediate reasons for Pizarro’s success included military technology based on guns, steel weapons, and horses; infectious diseases endemic in Eurasia; European maritime technology; the centralized political organization of European states; and writing. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z Second, among Mediterranean zones, western Eurasia’s experiences the greatest climatic variation from season to season and year to year. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z The Americas form the world’s second-largest landmass, significantly smaller than Eurasia.
