List of continents by population

This is a list of all major continents' population, estimated for the year 2002. The list includes the six of the commonly recognized inhabited continents. Also, other important supercontinents are included such as Eurasia and the Americas. Note that some landmasses are included in others, so the figures will not add up to the world population.
