Question: Which explorer mapped the coasts of the continent Loire is in and the WINEP bundled countries of Northwest Africa?

<P0-S0> at the time of the berlin conference, africa contained one-fifth of the world’s population living in one-quarter of the world’s land area. <P0-S1> however, from europe's perspective, they were dividing an unknown continent. <P0-S2> european countries established a few coastal colonies in africa by the mid-nineteenth century, which included cape colony (great britain), angola (portugal), and algeria (france), but until the late nineteenth century europe largely traded with free african states without feeling the need for territorial possession. <P0-S3> until the 1880s most of africa remained unchartered, with western maps from the period generally showing blank spaces for the continent’s interior. <SEP> <P1-S0> The Piri Reis map is a world map compiled in 1513 from military intelligence by the Ottoman admiral and cartographer Piri Reis (pronounced (piɾi ɾeis)). <P1-S1> Approximately one third of the map survives; it shows the western coasts of Europe and North Africa and the coast of Brazil with reasonable accuracy. <P1-S2> Various Atlantic islands, including the Azores and Canary Islands, are depicted, as is the mythical island of Antillia and possibly Japan. <SEP> <P2-S0> The human history of the Loire river valley begins with the Middle Palaeolithic period of 90–40 kya (thousand years ago), followed by modern humans (about 30 kya), succeeded by the Neolithic period (6,000 to 4,500 BC), all of the recent Stone Age in Europe. <P2-S1> Then came the Gauls, the historical tribes in the Loire during the Iron Age period 1500 to 500 BC; they used the Loire as a major riverine trading route by 600 BC, establishing trade with the Greeks on the Mediterranean coast. <P2-S2> Gallic rule ended in the valley in 56 BC when Julius Caesar conquered the adjacent provinces for Rome. <P2-S3> Christianity was introduced into this valley from the 3rd century AD, as missionaries (many later recognized as saints), converted the pagans. <P2-S4> In this period, settlers established vineyards and began producing wines. <SEP> <P3-S0> africa is the world's second largest and second most - populous continent (behind asia in both categories). <P3-S1> at about 30.3 million km (11.7 million square miles) including adjacent islands, it covers 6% of earth's total surface area and 20% of its land area. <P3-S2> with 1.2 billion people as of 2016, it accounts for about 16% of the world's human population. <P3-S3> the continent is surrounded by the mediterranean sea to the north, the isthmus of suez and the red sea to the northeast, the indian ocean to the southeast and the atlantic ocean to the west. <P3-S4> the continent includes madagascar and various archipelagos. <P3-S5> it contains 54 fully recognised sovereign states (countries), nine territories and two de facto independent states with limited or no recognition. <P3-S6> the majority of the continent and its countries are in the northern hemisphere, with a substantial portion and number of countries in the southern hemisphere. <SEP> <P4-S0> The Washington Institute for Near East Policy (WINEP) is a non-profit organization for research and advice on Middle Eastern policy. <P4-S1> It regards its target countries as the Middle East but adopts the convention of calling them the Near East to be in conformance with the practices of the State Department. <P4-S2> Its views are independent. <P4-S3> The WINEP bundles the countries of Northwest Africa together under "North Africa." <P4-S4> Details can be found in Policy Focus #65.
