Przewalski's horses, the world's last wild horse species, have been reintroduced to the steppes of Kazakhstan after nearly 200 years. Researchers have mapped the genome of this species, shedding light on their genetic makeup. A recent analysis of ancient horse genomes suggests that horse domestication likely occurred around 2,700 BCE, challenging previous theories.
The domestication of the modern horse probably did not occur before 2,700 BCE, according to an analysis of 475 ancient horse genomes published in @Nature. The finding challenges previous hypotheses of earlier domestication times. https://t.co/7harzzC2vD https://t.co/AZkJOb7reQ
