- A nomad is a member of a community without fixed habitation who regularly moves to and from the same areas. Such groups include hunter-gatherers, pastoral nomads (owning livestock), tinkers and trader nomads. In the twentieth century, the population of nomadic pastoral tribes slowly decreased, reaching 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 of domesticated livestock, driving or accompanying them in patterns that normally avoid depleting pastures beyond their ability to recover. Nomadism is also a lifestyle adapted to infertile regions such as steppe, tundra, or ice and sand, where mobility is the most efficient strategy for exploiting scarce resources. For example, many groups living in the tundra are reindeer herders and are semi-nomadic, following forage for their animals. Sometimes also described as "nomadic" are various itinerant populations who move among densely populated areas to offer specialized services (crafts or trades) to their residents—external consultants, for example. These groups are known as “[[List of nomadic peoples#Peripatetic|peripatetic nomads]]".

- Q: what is the opposite of a nomad, and how do they differ?
- A: The opposite of a nomad is someone who is sedentary, meaning they do not move around or migrate from one place to another. Nomads, on the other hand, are people who live a migratory lifestyle, moving from one place to another in search of resources or opportunities.
There are many factors that can differentiate nomads from sedentary people, including their mode of subsistence, cultural practices, and social organization. Nomadic societies often rely on mobile forms of subsistence, such as herding animals or hunting and gathering, while sedentary societies may rely on agriculture or other forms of settled production. Nomadic cultures may also have different social and cultural practices and institutions compared to sedentary societies.
Another key difference between nomads and sedentary people is their relationship to the land. Nomads often do not own land and do not have a permanent residence, whereas sedentary people may have a more permanent connection to a specific piece of land and may engage in activities such as farming or building homes.
Overall, the main difference between nomads and sedentary people is their mode of living and their relationship to place. Nomads move frequently and do not have a permanent residence, while sedentary people tend to live in one place for extended periods of time.
