[Coyoteman]

Coyoteman, sorry to bother you, but I need your disinterested expertise here for a bit. Can you verify restornu's statement that horses are native to the Americas and died out sometime after 100 AD? (Restornu, I don't know what year the last mention of horses corresponded to in the Book of Mormon, so the year I picked is a WAG. If I'm far off, will you correct me?)

Going from memory, there was a native horse species in the New World. It was different from our modern horses (same genus, different species, I think). It died out with the Pleistocene fauna. I am not sure when the last one was killed and cooked and eaten, but I believe remains have been found as recently as perhaps 10-12,000 years.

Hope this helps. I would have to hustle some books for a better answer. I have Martin's Twilight of the Mammoths here, so if you need more let me know.

Thanks. I figured if horses or horselike animals were til relatively recently a native species in America I would have heard about it before now.

Restornu, Coyoteman states that native horse remains in America are found at the latest in the Pleistocene, about 10,000 years before the events related in the BOM. Who are the archaeologists that you referred to who agree with you?
