History of The Cattle Herders(पशुपालन इतिहास)


History of The Cattle Herders(पशुपालन इतिहास)
Beginning in the upper reaches of the Nile River in the southern portions
of the present-day nation of Sudan, and expanding over the centuries from
north to south across the rift valleys and plains of East and southern Africa,
yet another major variant of pastoral nomadism developed. In this vast and
varied expanse, warrior-dominated societies based on cattle herding coalesced and expanded.
Because the climate and especially the disease environment posed
major barriers to horse breeding, the cattle nomads migrated, hunted, and
fought their wars on foot. But cattle provided their sustenance and the basis
of their material culture. Cattle were the prime gauge of wealth and status,
the focus of religious rituals, and the key item given to the bride's family
in arranging a marriage alliance.
