Question

1.About five thousand years ago, the rains over the Sahara began to decline and grasslands gave way to desert. The population of this region began to migrate east and south. Describe how the landforms and climate of Africa influenced the way these people lived as they settled in new areas.

Answer 1

Generally speaking, people in Africa tended to live around areas with soil irrigation, which almost always took place by rivers. This is why the Egyptians were such a thriving people--because of their close proximity to the Nile River. 

Answer 2

Answer:

Climate and geography had always had a big impact in how people lived their life's. In the case of the Sahara, what we have observed is that the population that lived there were forced to migrate and found new ways of living. Some of them found new fertile territories and stabilized there, others become or remain nomads, and they continued to be nomad even these day. Beside form that, changes in diet where of course made, provoking a cascade of changes in rituals, culture and societies norms.
