Nomads have lived on the steppes of Eurasia, from the northern shores of the Black Sea eastward to Mongolia, for the past 3,000 years.
Since the early first millennium BCE, many of the nomadic groups of Central Asia were dependent upon the raising and herding of various types of animals, such as horses, sheep, camels, and, to a lesser extent, cattle.
Because of the drier climatic conditions in Central Asia, these peoples had to move from place to place in order to provide adequate grazing and water resources for their animals.

 Technology and Military Policy: SCIENCE and PRAXIS
A prominent feature of this discussion is the tendency to refer to stones and stone-throwing engines when an empirical example of projectile motion is needed.
Since the fourth century BCE, Zeno=s paradox of the arrow as related in Aristotle's Physics provided the most convenient reference in discussions of projectile motion; a status quo probably aided by the arrow's familiarity.
The process whereby stones came to complement arrows as a common scientific reference for projectile motion is significant not the least of which for confirming that the Jordanus corpus was perceived as relating to siege engines.

Doing so not only brought Chinese land- and water-management practices to what was then still the exotic south, but also pinned the rivers into their courses, sending the silt-laden rivers into the Pearl River estuary, where the larger volume of alluvium settled out to begin forming the delta.
When the Mongols invaded China in the thirteenth century, and especially during the final conquest in the 1260s and 1270s, Chinese fled south in waves.
