CHAPTER 12

Reflection:
The "revolution of domestication" involved both plants and animals. People during this time could handle both at the same time bringing an economic foundation. People from different places had different/unique ways of taking care of there agriculture distinguishing them from other communities. Not all societies did women have a lot of priorities, however, in nomadic societies offered women a higher status and with a greater role. There were many societies during this period. One was pastoral societies. In this society the most important characteristics was mobility. People in this society traveled/ migrated a lot. These people will bring with them tents for to live in. People would depend on the foods/agriculture from their nearest neighbor. With nomadic pastoralists creating a large population was difficult and within this society people did not have much wealth to build an army or bureaucracies compared to other societies. The pastoral nomad interacted with their nearby neighbors involving agriculture, military, and culture issues. Through communication with other communities and trade has led societies to a food-producing revolution. Arabs, Berbers, Turks and Mongols part of the nomadic region created one of the largest and most influential empires. The most dramatic was the Arabs. These people developed a camel saddle that brought them the advantage to take control over the trade route. The mongols traveled a lot during this period and built a strong military. There military had the ability to move materials and human resources. The Mongols employed in high positions number of Muslims and several Europeans. During this era there were interactions with Persia and Russia with the Mongols. The Mongol empire grew rapidly and strong bringing impact to the economy global wide. Not only did people during this time traded culture, agriculture and military resources but also plagues/diseases. Many people have died and suffered form pandemics causing a decrease and little strength within the communities.
