<P> Every two years since 1996 a meeting of most Asian and European countries is organised as the Asia--Europe Meeting (ASEM). </P> <P> In ancient times, the Greeks classified Europe (derived from the mythological Phoenician princess Europa) and Asia (derived from Asia, a woman in Greek mythology) as separate "lands". Where to draw the dividing line between the two regions is still a matter of discussion . Especially whether the Kuma - Manych Depression or the Caucasus Mountains form the southeast boundary is disputed, since Mount Elbrus would be part of Europe in the latter case, making it (and not Mont Blanc) Europe's highest mountain . Most accepted is probably the boundary as defined by Philip Johan von Strahlenberg in the 18th century . He defined the dividing line along the Aegean Sea, Dardanelles, Sea of Marmara, Bosporus, Black Sea, Kuma--Manych Depression, Caspian Sea, Ural River, and Ural Mountains . </P> <P> In modern usage, the term "Eurasian" is a demonym usually meaning "of or relating to Eurasia" or "a native or inhabitant of Eurasia". The term "Eurasian" is also used to describe people of combined "Asian" and "European" descent . </P> <P> West or western Eurasia is a loose geographic definition used in some disciplines, such as genetics or anthropology, to refer to the region inhabited by the relatively homogeneous population of West Asia and Europe . The people of this region are sometimes described collectively as West or Western Eurasians . </P>
