This expansion in range was contemporary with the Botai culture, where there are indications that horses were corralled and ridden. This does not necessarily mean that horses were first domesticated in the steppes, but the horse-hunters of the steppes certainly pursued wild horses more than in any other region. [39] [51] [52]
The ancestral coat color of E. ferus was possibly a uniform dun, consistent with modern populations of Przewalski's horses. Pre-domestication variants including black and spotted have been inferred from cave wall paintings and confirmed by genomic analysis. [58] Domestication may have also led to more varieties of coat colors. [59]
The history of horse domestication has been subject to much debate, with various competing hypotheses over time about how domestication of the horse occurred. The main point of contention was whether the domestication of the horse occurred once in a single domestication event, or that the horse was domesticated independently multiple times.
The genomic evidence showed that horses were first domesticated in Central Asia - northern Kazakhstan to be precise - about 5,500 years ago by people from what is called the Botai culture. But ...
The first animal to be domesticated by humans was the dog, as a commensal, at least 15,000 years ago. Other animals, including goats, sheep, and cows, were domesticated around 11,000 years ago. Among birds, the chicken was first domesticated in East Asia, seemingly for cockfighting, some 7,000 years ago. The horse came under domestication ...
“Horses have been part of us since long before other cultures came to our lands, and we are a part of them,” a Lakota chief said. Horses were part of North America before the Europeans arrived ...
Domestication was not a single event, but a process repeated at various periods in different places. Sheep and goats were the animals that accompanied the nomads in the Middle East, while cattle and pigs were associated with more settled communities. [3] The first wild animal to be domesticated was the dog.
Of course you know pigeons, they are a ubiquitous bird in cities throughout the world. They cluster on steps and asphalt and nest under eaves and on signs. They eat trash and poop everywhere.
