Of course, the geographical continuity have some importance. The Atlantic ocean can be considered as a natural border of Europe, but I don't think the same about the Ural mountains. |
Its worth to mention that Europeans (European Europids racially, Indoeuropeans ethnolinguistically) lived East of the Ural mountains in ancient times too, actually it was just more recently that Mongoloid groups (Turkic and Mongol primarily) took Central Asia. It was an essentially Europid land since Europids existed and Indoeuropean for thousands of years.
