The untold history of the horse in the American Plains, a new future for the world.
The continent of North America is where horses first emerged. Millions of years of evolutionary
changes transformed the horse before it became the natural companion of many Indigenous
Peoples and the flagship symbol of the southwest. An international team uniting 87 scientists
across 66 institutions around the world now begins to refine the history of the American horse.
This work, which embeds cross-disciplinary and cross-cultural research between western and
traditional Indigenous science, is published today in the journal Science.
