Horse domestication didn't happen the way we think it did

Summary

Nutrition label

80% Informative

When and how people domesticated horses has been an ongoing scientific mystery.

New archaeological evidence is revising what scientists like me thought we knew about this story.

Many of the most important clues come from the bones and teeth of ancient animals.

As they spread, horses reshaped ecology, social structures and economies at never-before-seen scale.

Dr. Taylor : The earliest chapters of the human-horse story are ready for a retelling.

Taylor : All lines of evidence seem to converge on the idea that horse domestication probably did take place in the Black Sea steppes, but much later than the Kurgan hypothesis requires.
