Q. What were the most critical shifts that occurred to allow sedentary civilizations to dominate nomadic peoples after the 1400s?
Asked by Dean Portman - Sun Jan 11 18:33:54 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. I think sedentary civilizations were dominant far before that time in many areas and I also don't know *exactly* what you mean by "critical shifts", but here goes: 1.) Agriculture Farming was the catalyst that transformed hunter gatherers into civilized societies. 2.) Population Density Farming allowed greater populations to live within a smaller geographic area. For example, hunter gathers in a natural nomadic environment would need say 1 square mile per person to survive, but a farming society could feed 10 people per square mile to survive. 3.) Specialists Farming allowed food surpluses, which meant that some people did not have to farm and could be fed off of the surplus food. Those people therefore could occupy their time in… [cont.]

What's the difference between Nomadic herding and grazing?
Q. I normally wouldn't do this, but I looked all over my textbook like twice, and there's nothing on it. I guess they expect us to pull it out of our butts. Please help me!
Asked by Anon - Wed Oct 14 22:23:37 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Grazing just means the animals stand around and eat grass. Nomadic herding refers to moving from place to place to find good (better) grass, usually due to seasonal changes. This may be due to changes in rainfall or snowfall or changes in temperature.

Q. What factors characterized the interactions of "civilized, settled" societies with those societies which were nomadic. Here you might look at the Huns, Vikings, Mongols. In what ways did the values of these societies differ? Their social structure? Their treatment of women? You could look at them in comparison to the societies they threatened.

What factors trigger a nomadic society to turn into a agricultural farm based society?
Q. Serious answers only please. If possible please provide sources. What are the events that make a once nomadic peoples radically convert to a farming system. 1) One day, they start planting crops? What would lead to this, specifically. 2) Nomadic cultures have existed for thousands of years, even up to and after the industrial age in the western world. It doesn't seem a process of trial and error, since every nomadic culture would've realized this at some stage. They is obviously an event or events, that push this sort of society into the direction of developing farming techniques. 3) What would be the circumstances that were a catalyst for such a change? What would suddenly make nomadic people 'know' that seeds can turn into crops.
Asked by Notorious - Thu Nov 23 09:52:14 2006 - - 8 Answers - 0 Comments
A. The transition is actually relatively slow. The need for agriculture often rises out of increased populations, reduction in food resources and often changes in climate. Agriculture allows for food to be produced in larger amounts (however it is much more time consuming), additionally surplus stock can be stored for winter use. Hunter-gatherer subsistence was relatively less time consuming but more detrimental to populations, starvation especially in winter was very common. Eventually, before full-blown agriculture, horticulture begins. This is typically seen through the growing of what archaeologists call the triad of corn, beans and squash. However, most cultures also selectively choose plants like berries for their size, causing… [cont.]

A. The Mongols greatest strength was the incorporation of the technologies and ideas they learned as they expanded their empire. Most importantly, their use of Chinese engineers to build bridges over rivers and the use of gunpowder. Also the Mongols learned administration skills from the Chinese and the Persians. You can't build an empire with just an army, you need to insure that commerce and trade grows, roads and bridges have to be built, people must be free to prosper, and of course taxes must be paid. These ideas they learned. And with it their empire grew.

A. I can't speak about the Han Empire. For Rome though, nomadic groups was one of many reasons why Rome fell. By the 4th century, the Roman Empire had extended it's reach to a point where it could no longer be controlled by one administrative capital. The founding of the second capital of Constantinople eventually lead to the empire being divided into two, united but with different agendas. By the late 4th and early 5th centuries, the Western Empire saw encroachment by various nomadic groups, most notably the Visigoths, Huns and Ostrogoths. This paired with internal struggles (poor emperors and corruption) reduced the efficiency of Rome to carry out its authority. Rome could no longer handle so many wars and it became so severe that Rome… [cont.]
