	Nomad
		The rapid spread of such nomaic pastoralism was typical of such later developments as of the Yamnaya culture of the horse and cattle nomads of the Eurasian steppe, or of the Turko-Mongol spread of the ater Middle Ages.
		This quickly developed into what Jaris Yurins has called the circum-Arabian nomadic pastoral techno-complex and is possibly assocoated with the appearance of Semitic languages in the region of the Ancient Near East.
		Many Native Americans and Indigenous Australians were nomadic prior to Western contact, although they were not a pastoral people in that they did not systematically raise animals on whose products they depended.

	Dienekes' Anthropology Blog: East Asian DNA in Europe (and how it came to be)
		The practice of patrilocality and their proximity to regions inhabited by Mongoloids would ensure that (a) their Y chromosomes would remain Western Eurasian, (b) that they would acquire a certain level of Mongoloid admixture by taking (voluntarily, or not) Mongoloid women.
		These people has been victims periodic genocydes by Mongol nomads, whom have diffused their genes in a decreasing cline from the center of irradiation of Mongol genes near the Altai range to Italia (invaded successively by Huns, Mongols, etc.)and to Poland.
		Also, note that the Western groups were probably even higher in Caucasoid Y chromosomes because historical migrations have introduced more Mongoloid Y chromosomes to the population.

	Nomads of the Steppe
		There is still an ethno-linguistic group called Avar within the Caucasus who may be related to them.
		Their ethnic affinities are obscure; they have been identified by various authorities as connected to Mongols, Turks, Huns, or even Avars.
		Knowledge about them is fragmentary; the following list is based on Chinese records, and therefore most of the entries cannot pretend to represent the rulers names with any degree of accuracy (the reasonably accurate ones are those within 394-444, 492-506, and 520-552).

	Ukraine: Introduction
		The steppes were the domain of Asiatic nomads, the Black Sea coast was inhabited by Greek colonists, and the forests in the northwest were the homeland of the agrarian East Slavic tribes from whom, eventually, the Ukrainian, Russian, and Belarusian nations evolved.
		Ukraine is bordered on the west by Poland, Slovakia, and Hungary; on the southwest by Romania and Moldova; on the south by the Black Sea and Sea of Azov; on the east and northeast by Russia; and on the north by Belarus.
		About half of its territory, especially the central and southern regions, consists of the exceptionally fertile black chernozem, a type of soil that is ideal for agriculture.

	The State Hermitage Museum: Collection Highlights
		The history of nomadic cultures is also illustrated by relics of the Sarmatians and Huns (the Khokhlach burial mound, the Novocherkassk hoard, etc), and medieval nomads of the Eurasian steppes (Turks, Bulgars and Polovtsy, 7th-12th centuries AD).
		Alongside the items mentioned above, of no less interest are relics from the forest and steppe area and Zarubinets and Chernyakhovsk barrows (2nd century BC-4th century AD) including the well known Bosporan collection (4th- early 7th century AD), its items inextricably linked with the world of the nomads.
		Stone figures created by the Turks and Polovtsy, and relics from the Pereshchepina complex and the ancient settlement at Sarkel are also of major significance.

		This research will be done using pollen analysis, geochemical analysis of the burial soils, peat and lakes deposits supplemented by the stable isotope analysis of bone remains.

		In ancient Azerbaijan the majority population before the 3rd century CE in the north consisted of tribes that spoke various Caucasian languages, while in the south Indo-European languages such as those of the Medes and various Eurasian nomads such as the Scythians were predominant.
		Other prominent local Caucasian tribes included the Hyperborean-related Caucasian Avars (not to be confused with the Eurasian Avars of Ural-Altaic origin) which dominated much of the region, linking it for a time to related Caucasian tribes in Dagestan.
		A variety of Caucasian peoples appear to be the earliest inhabitants of northern Azerbaijan with the notable Caucasian Albanians being their most prominently known representative.

	Halford McFinder was a high mucky muck of the British Empire who was born sometime around 1850
		The British reasoned that Russia was their primary rival for world dominance, partly because of it occupied much of the strategic heart of the Eurasian land mass, and partly because it huge population and abundant natural resources gave it vast military potential.
		Is not the pivot region of the world’s politics that vast area of Euro-Asia which is inaccessible to ships, but in antiquity lay open to the horse riding nomads, and is today about to be covered with a network of railways.
		It also seems undeniable that the culling of most of the world’s population is a necessary and therefore built-in part of their plan to conquer the world.

	History of Eurasia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The history of Eurasia is the collective history of four distinct peripheral coastal regions, East Asia, South Asia, the Middle East, and Europe linked by the interior mass of the Eurasian steppe.
		Throughout their history, up to the development of gunpowder all the four areas would be repeatedly menaced by the nomads from the steppe.
		The earliest known such central expansion out of the steppe is that of the Indo-Europeans which spread their languages into the Middle East, India, Europe, and in the Tocharians to the borders of China.

	Benjamin - The Migration of the Yuezhi through Sogdia - Transoxiana Eran ud Aneran
		The graves of Ferghana, emphasising that region's role throughout the Bronze and Iron Ages as an obvious funnel for all manner of Eurasian nomads, contain arrowheads of almost every type
		At the British Museum in January 2001 Elizabeth Errington was good enough to show me a colour transparency of a similar arrowhead from the Charles Masson collection.
		The arrowheads discovered at early Kushan sites in Sogdia are similar to those found at Begram in Bactria, thus dating them to the 'late-Yuezhi/early Kushan period'
