They didn't. At the time of the major explorations (16th to 18th century) nobody had even any idea that Leif Ericson ever had been in the Western Hemisphere. That was only discovered in the 20th century.

Why did the eastern hemisphere develop long distance trade more extensively than did the societies of the western hemisphere?

Eastern Hemisphere societies developed long distance trade more extensively than Western Hemisphere societies because of geography. Some geographical differences added obstacles. The use of domesticated animals also played a role.


Why do more people live in the eastern hemisphere than the western?

The most obvious reason why there are more people in the Eastern hemisphere than the Western is that the continents of the Eastern hemisphere, Africa, Asia, and Europe, are simply larger, in aggregate, than the two continents of the Western hemisphere, North and South America. At a rough estimate there is twice as much sheer land mass in the east than in the west. Even aside from that, populations are denser in the east. That is more or less an accident of history. Different cultures develop in different ways.
