Abstract
There are many fundamental differences between agrarian and nomadic societies. Nomads are usually forced, through environmental extremes, to be hunter-gatherers or shepherds, moving in search of good pastures and better weather. The Eskimos or Inuit, some sub-Saharan Arabs and the Kalahari Bushmen are constantly on the move. They have a way of life suited to this necessity.
