GEOGRAPHY:
Nomadic peoples of central Asia were pastoralists who kept herds of animals—horses, sheep, goats, cattle, and camels. They built societies by adapting to the ecological conditions of lands. Central Asia does not receive enough rain to support large-scale agriculture, but grasses and shrubs flourish on the steppe lands.They drove their animals to lands with abundant grass and then moved them along as the animals thinned the vegetation. They lived mostly off the meat, milk, and hides of their animals. They used animal bones for tools and animal dung as fuel for fires. They made shoes and clothes out of wool from their sheep and skins from their other animals. Wool was also used to fashion large tents called yurts in which they were they lived. They even prepared an alcoholic drink from animal products by fermenting mare’s milk into  KUMISS . they also use it as a medicine.
