The Przewalskis Horse, which lives on the steppes of central Asia, likely deviated from the lineage leading to modern domesticated horses some 50,000 years ago. (Photo: Joe Ravi)

Wasn’t that during or just after an Ice age time? Where would it or it’s ancestors lived.. (no where to graze)?

I was just watching “Jurassic Park” on Encore. Just one or two of those raptors turned loose at certain venues in DC could solve a lot of our problems.

Wait I thought horses weren’t indigineous to the American continents and that they came over with the “invading European hordes”??? Or is this just a different “prehistoric” subspecies?

Wasn’t Dysart the name of Richard Burton’s character in Equus? Just wondering.
“Among the teams findings is that the genus Equus which includes all horses, donkeys, and zebras dates back more than 4 million years, twice as long ago as scientists had previously believed.”
So estimating from the present genome about the past genome was widely erroneous? Interesting in its implications.

700,000-Year-Old Horse Found in Yukon Permafrost Yields Oldest DNA Ever Decoded Wouldn't the various ice ages since then with deep and repeated glaciation of the Yukon have completely destroyed any remains like this?
Less than $7.6k to go!

But that would mean that there have been no re-occurring ice ages, and the earth is not eighty eleven years old. The horseish thingie could not be that old. But if it was not that old, then the world could be double eighty elevensies.
Oh NOES! The cranium hurtish with all the fine scientwistic reasoning.

Something for Sarah Jessica Parker to look up on Ancestry.com.
It might be the missing link tying her to John Kerry.
