Question

"...The daily tasks of the women are to milk the cattle in the morning and evening, and to fetch water as required.

By using their donkeys it is possible for them to bring back enough water to last two or three days. When the
settlement moves, on average about once every five weeks, each woman is responsible for moving her hut and
rebuilding it. All the necessary movables, including hides, wooden containers and important struts in the
framework of the hut, can normally be carried by two donkeys. Older women rely on their daughters, their
younger co-wives, and their sons' wives for help in all these tasks...."

Answer 1

Nomads (hunter-gatherers).

Step-by-step explanation:

Nomads are a group of people or a community that moves from one place to another without a specific place of settlement. They move as and when necessary, carrying all their livestock and belongings, and with no solid housing.

In the given passage from Paul Spencer's "The Samburu", their lifestyle of "moving" from one settlement to another, carrying all their things is an example of such people. They are also known as hunter-gatherers, relying on the place they decide to stay for the moment, and then moving on to the next.

Thus, the correct answer is nomads (hunter-gatherers).
