Analysis of differences between these genomes indicated that the last common ancestor of modern horses, donkeys, and zebras existed 4 to 4.5 million years ago. [40] The results also indicated that Przewalski's horse diverged from other modern types of horse about 43,000 years ago, and had never in its evolutionary history been domesticated. [27]
The course of horse evolution covers many millions of years, and horses are very mobile. Some of the branches of the horse family will of course have traversed continents -- primitive humans spread across most of the whole Earth in only about 30-40 thousand years. Horses could easily cover the same distance in millions.
Equidae (commonly known as the horse family) is the taxonomic family of horses and related animals, including the extant horses, asses, and zebras, and many other species known only from fossils. The family evolved more than 50 million years ago, in the Eocene epoch, from a small, multi-toed ungulate into larger, single-toed animals.
Around 4,200 years ago, one particular lineage of horse quickly became dominant across Eurasia, suggesting that’s when humans started to spread domesticated horses around the world, according to ...
Late Devonian: 375 million years ago, 75% of species lost, including most trilobites; End Permian, The Great Dying: 251 million years ago, 96% of species lost, including tabulate corals, and most trees and synapsids; End Triassic: 200 million years ago, 80% of species lost, including all conodonts
A judge in Brazil has ordered Adele’s song Million Years Ago to be removed globally from streaming services due to a plagiarism claim by Brazilian composer, Toninho Geraes. Geraes alleges that ...
Geraes claims that “Million Years Ago” plagiarises the music from his samba classic, “Mulheres” (Women), which was recorded and released by Brazilian singer Martinho da Vila in 1995.
Pliohippus (Greek πλείων (pleion, "more") and ἵππος (ippos, "horse")) [1] is an extinct genus of Equidae, the horse family. Pliohippus arose in the middle Miocene, around 15 million years ago.
