University of Colorado Boulder study complicates theory on origins of horseback riding.
Study: Horseback riding transforms human bones, creating slight changes to the shape of the hip joint.
The exact time humans domesticated horses has been debated for many years .
Some scholars argue the earliest use of horses was 4,000 years ago .
But the Kurgan hypothesis argues horses were domesticated much sooner.
The earliest clear evidence of horse riding might be more recent than some people think.
The researchers suggest we should look at whole groups of skeletons, not just one or two .
We need to compare bones from people who we know rode horses with those who did other things like driving wagons.
