There have been nomadic peoples since at least about 8500 BC.
But nomads are definitely not ancient history. There are still many "pastoral" nomads who follow the herds they depend on. They may also tend the herds. There are nomads in Mongolia who herd camels, Inuits in the Arctic who follow the caribou, and desert and plains peoples in Africa. And there are many more.
These days there are even RV nomads who camp in one place after another, never actually settling down.
