many nationalities, societies, andethnic groups in
the region, traditionally called a continent from a
Western-centric perspective, of Asia. The region or
"continent" is more commonly divided into more
natural geographic and cultural subregions,
including Central Asia, East Asia, North Asia, South
Asia, Southeast Asia and West Asia.
Geographically, Asia is not a distinct continent;
culturally, there has been little unity or common
history for many of the cultures and peoples of
Asia.

28. There are an abundance of ethnic groups
throughout Asia, with adaptations to the climate
zones of Asia, which can perate, subtropical or
tropical. The ethnic groups have adapted to
mountains, deserts, grasslands, and forests. On the
coasts of Asia, the ethnic groups have adopted
various methods of harvest and transport. Some
groups are primarily hunter-gatherers, some
practice transhumance(nomadic lifestyle), others
have been agrarian/rural for millennia and others
are becoming industrial/urban. Some
groups/countries of Asia are completely urban
(Singapore and Hong Kong). The colonization of
Asia was largely ended in the twentieth
century, with national drives for independence
and self-determination across the continent.
