Pygmies are nomadic, lead to migratory life. Bush-man are nomads, they change their shelter in search of new pasture, food and water. Kirghiz are also nomads, they move from one place to another in search of water.
They live in different natural region but their lifestyle is similar. As a student of Geography what according to you can be the reason for their similar livelihood?
Answer
Pygmies from the Congo Basin, Bushmen from the Kalahari Desert, and the Kirghiz from Central Asia all belong to different natural regions, yet share a similar nomadic lifestyle. This is mainly because the physical conditions in their regions are harsh and not suitable for permanent settlements. Limited availability of food, water, and grazing land forces them to keep moving from one place to another in search of basic resources for survival. Their way of life is an adaptation to the challenging environment in which they live.
