Answer - A - Settled farmers are similar to pastoral nomads in that both groups domesticate animals.

Key Takeaway: Both settled farmers and pastoral nomads rely upon the domestication of animals in order for their economies to survive. Domestication of animals can be dated as far back as 15,000 B.C.E., with the domestication of the dog in Africa and East Asia.
