"A nomad (Middle French: nomade "people without fixed habitation")[dubious – discuss] is a member of a community without fixed habitation which regularly moves to and from the same areas. Such groups include hunter-gatherers, pastoral nomads (owning livestock), and tinkers or trader nomads. As of 1995[update] there were an estimated 30–40 million nomads in the world.
Nomadic hunting and gathering—following seasonally available wild plants and game—is by far the oldest human subsistence method. Pastoralists raise herds, driving or accompanying in patterns that normally avoid depleting pastures beyond their ability to recover.[citation needed]" - (en.wikipedia.org 09.03.2020)
