A lot of time we don't consider the vast numbers of people who actually constitute the largest continuous culture the world has ever known. I'll check some numbers, although exact continuous population figures are hard to access from Asia circa 500 BC to the present.

I diffently did not disregard asian culture when I was posing the original question to myself. And it is true that asian culture is the most non intertwined with other cultures even to this day. It is also true that asia makes up both the largest land mass but also population mass on earth. However, all the smaller ones combined (or mostly combined) outnumber it (in my non scientific opinon of course) considering you are looking at the americas, europe, the middle east and parts of africa.
There should be more studies into inviduals and there personal influence. More then just how many people they touched but to the degree that they did.
