Asia by a big margin, about 60% of the world's population.

The most densely populated continent is currently Europe.

(In 2000, Asia accounted for 58% of the world's population total, but not density.)

Answer

Population Density of all the continents are as follows,

Asia - 203 people per square mile

Europe - 134 people per square mile

South America - 73 people per square mile

Africa - 65 people per square mile

North America - 32 people per square mile

Australia - 6.4 people per square mile.

The population density of the planet (including all land area) is about 105 people per square mile. If Antarctica is eliminated (since it has zero population density), the world population density rises only to 115 people per square mile.

Most definetly Asia. China and India (if you count India as part of Asia and not its own subcontinent) have over 2 billion people alone. So that's 2/7ths of the world in those two countries. And there are other countries to add to that.

(Actually it's Europe if you take out the European part of Russia and Kazakhstan which most people would. Alone they add over 60% to Europe's land mass but have very low population densities which is why all the Wikipedias in this world put Asia at the highest density)

Asia is the most densely populated continent. However, Europe's land is more densely populated as a whole.
