Why would domesticated animals be especially helpful to nomads?

Answer 1

1. They people who do nomadic herding do not have to face the task of going hunting everyday inorder to find food. Instead they can herd a lot of animals and use some of them or products from them to feed themselves.

2. Nomadic herding also gives the nomadic herders more time to spare in their hands, since they do not have to go searching for food 24x7.

Answer 2

The domestication of animals helped Neolithic people by allowing them to carry supplies as they traveled. They also helped people remain in a single location by allowing help with farming and as a food source.

Answer 3

Animals were not just raised to be slaughtered for meat: humans could simply go hunting to do that. These animals were domesticated for a greater means: for fibre, labour, and milk. The biggest deciding factor is labour, because animals like oxen (cattle) and horses were able to be used to work larger fields in a shorter period of time than what could be done with several farm hands alone. The fact that these animals could be tamed and trained well enough to pull a cart, plough or wagon was simply a huge success and benefit to the ability for humans to advance in the field of agriculture. Thus, it can be easily said that it was these animals that helped shape agriculture into what it is today and that they were the reason that agriculture to progress into something truly great.

Answer 5

Domesticated animals were important back then because they helped nomads move from place to placeAt first, humans used animals merely for food. But eventually, we began to catch on that animals can be useful for work, clothes, protection and transportation. In the wild, animals are protective of themselves and suspicious of other animals. But humans have been able to change this behavior. Over time, some animals become gentler and submit to human instruction -- what's calleddomestication. In this process, an entire animal species evolves to become naturally accustomed to living among and interacting with humans.It's important to keep in mind that not everyone believes animal domestication is a good thing. The cofounder of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), Ingrid Newkirk, has famously voiced her opposition to human interference in animal lives. This also means that she dislikes the idea of pets in general. And as an "animal abolitionist," she seeks freedom for all captive animals [source: Lowry].

However, others look on the history of animal domestication in a kinder light. The author Stephen Budiansky argues that it is a perfectly natural process that provides advantages to both humans and animals. Budiansky subscribes to the theory that animals actually chose domestication, preferring the reliable comfort of captivity to the harsh wild [source: Budiansky]. He also points out that there are some species that we have, or could have, saved from extinction by domesticating them.
