Image A Image B Image C Image D ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Throughout history, and even today, there have been some groups of people in the world that live nomadic lifestyles. The images above show a nomadic tribe of Bedouins who lived in the Moab Desert in the late 1800s. The pictures were taken by an American named Archibald Forder who lived in the Middle East with the tribe for thirteen years. Though these images were not taken during the Paleolithic Era, they depict how some people may have lived at that time.
