Description: A base map of Asia from 1921 showing the general population distribution of the region at the time. "The climate of southeastern Asia is so warm and moist that food plants grow there in abundance. Nearly half the people of the world live in this part of Asia. Where it is too cold or too dry for food plants to thrive, few people are found." — Redway and Hinman, 1921, p.113.
