The evolution of the horse is one of the best records of change through time within the fossil record. From the tiny ‘dawn horse’ fifty-million-years-ago to the modern Equus, the horse and its ancestors have roamed the earth as one of evolution’s most successful mammals.
In this video Prof John Hutchinson talks with Mark Torrender from Evolution Soup about the origins of the horse, its geographical distribution, and how humans came to harness this magnificent animal. He also discusses Dawndinos research too!
