I'd guess it may stem from the division of the Ancient World between Western (Greek) and Eastern (Persian) spheres of influence and therefore geographically would be centred on the Hellespont.
If societies further north had become dominant, literate and been claimed as precursors by subsequent civilisations then the division may not exist.
Incidentally, Jared Diamond treats Eurasia as a single landmass in his environmental history approach precisely because there are no geographical barriers comparable to the barriers on other continents (including the fact that the whole supercontinent is within a relatively narrow range of latitudes).
I'm with Jared Diamond on this. If there isn't a reasonable tectonic plate based argument then it's all one big lump of rock and soil if you ask me. This may be my science bias though as I would rather separate human and other form of geography.

but tonight somehow i quite enjoyed it
'Of course I didn't take my wife to see Rochdale as an anniversary present.
It was her birthday.
Would I have got married during the football season ?
Anyway, it was Rochdale reserves.'
I enjoyed tonights game, I enjoyed the way my country, Ingerland played, and I enjoyed watching the captain of my club show why he is one of the best in the world
I saw a dead fish on the pavement and thought "what did you expect?"
There's no water round here stupid, should have stayed where it was wet
