Nomadic Vs. Sedentary Lifestyles

Compare and Contrast the lifestyles of nomadic and sedentary peoples. How did each earn their livelihood, what was their daily life was like, and how did they relate to outside groups?

Similar: Both had a society and hierarchy, though the society of the sedentary peoples are way more complicated while the nomads usually just had the chief, men and women, then children.

Different: Their lives were more warlike and lived in areas that favored a pastoralist lifestyle. The settled people had specialization jobs. They also established trade and lived near sources of water or protection. Women had more power in the nomadic societies than the settled.

HINT: When comparing and contrasting or change over time, always look at women and technology.
