Steppe Nomadism

Steppe nomadism refers to a traditional lifestyle practiced by communities that move across vast grasslands, known as steppes. These nomadic groups, often herders, rely on livestock such as sheep, horses, and camels for food, clothing, and shelter. They follow seasonal migration patterns to access fresh pastures and water sources. This way of life is closely tied to the environment and fosters unique cultural practices and social structures. Steppe nomadism has been significant in shaping the history and economies of regions like Central Asia, where such communities continue to exist despite modern influences.
