Why have historians often neglected pastoral peoples' role in world history?

Historians have often neglected pastoral peoples in world history due to a focus on sedentary agricultural societies, which are perceived as the foundation of civilization and state formation. Additionally, the written records from pastoralist cultures are limited compared to those of agrarian societies, leading to a bias towards documented history. Furthermore, the nomadic lifestyle of pastoralists has been viewed as less stable or impactful in shaping political and economic structures, causing their contributions to be overlooked. This neglect has changed in recent years as scholars increasingly recognize the significant influence of pastoralists on trade, culture, and geopolitical dynamics.


How did Arabs adapt to life?

Arabs survived on the Arabian Peninsula primarily as nomadic pastoralists, meaning that they raised sheep and goats and moved across the Arabian Peninsula in search of grass to graze.

Eventually, Arabs created cities that could effectively trade local wealth and products for foreign foodstuffs from breadbaskets like Mesopotamia or Egypt.
