Wind Horse People at roche de solutre may have domesticated horses 100,00ya

Anatolia never made much sense to me. Steppes of Eurasia is a whole lot more likely.

"In this new effort, the researchers have found evidence that suggests that horses were actually first domesticated in the Eurasian Steppe and were exported to Anatolia approximately 4,000 years ago, during the Bronze Age."

I've always thought horses were domesticated on the Eurasia Steppes.(Of course. done by Blacks)

Never heard any difference.

[Grimmy]

Makes sense.

The Steppes were far enough away from the “civilized” center of gravity that declared riding horses undignified for royalty, and royalty being the only people of enough means to own and maintain horses.

And the distances to be traveled so great and the “amenities” along those travels so scarce that anything that sped up travel was a serious boon, in the Steppes.

I thought that was commonly accepted that horses were domesticated in the Kuban/north of the Caspian sea area by the Aryan tribes and that domestication is what enabled them to spread first south-east to India (then branching west to become Gutians and then Hittites) and then west to become various Europeans.

Domestication of the horse happened twice. Once somewhere in Asia and the second was on the plains of North America in the 1500s-1600s.

Did they feed horses Beef-o-Reeno back then?
