- The Black Death had a much greater impact on nomadic societies than sedentary ones.
- Sedentary states, especially those in Europe, became centralized and devoted more resources to military advancements used to fight off nomads. Some advancements include:
• Improved metalworking techniques
• More powerful gunpowder and firearms
• Increased military discipline
- Russians, the Ottoman Empire of the Mediterranean, and the Qing Dynasty of China moved into the heartlands of nomadic peoples and settled it with their growing peasant populations.
- This settling brought nomads under sedentary control and re-purposed the pastures used for grazing as agricultural land.
- After the Industrial Revolution occurred, railroads and repeating rifles allowed for the destruction of virtually all remaining nomadic societies.

Sedentary societies are characterized by permanent settlements where people engage in agriculture and animal husbandry, leading to surplus food production. Non-sedentary societies, such as hunter-gatherer or nomadic groups, rely on moving from place to place in search of resources.

They are called civilizations
An anthropologist, sociologist, or cultural historian may specialize in analyzing the organization of civilizations and societies. They study the social structures, norms, and practices of different groups to understand how societies function and evolve.
The shift to sedentary agricultural societies often led to a more pronounced division of labor between genders, with men typically taking on more field work and women engaging in domestic tasks. This shift influenced social dynamics, power structures, and the rise of patriarchal societies where men held more influence and control.
