A cautionary tale in evolutionary theory is coming straight from the horse’s mouth. When ancient horses diversified into new species, those bursts of evolution weren’t accompanied by drastic ...

Its ancestral tree sprouted numerous branches. Many of these led to species that no longer exist. In other words, horse evolution was never as straightforward as Marsh's smooth fossil sequence ...

Scientists have decoded the genome of the domestic horse, revealing a genome structure ... a key part of the mammalian branch of the evolutionary tree, the work also provides a critical starting ...

Eohippus, an early relative of the horse, had a couple more toes ... was so consistent across the whole swath of the evolutionary tree that we studied, once you account for those side toes.” ...

“I wanted to balance the needs of the horse and the rider better.” The foundation of most saddles starts first with a structure called a tree. It acts as the bones of the saddle, balancing the ...

The same principle is at play when it comes to evolutionary trees, a study in the journal Communications Biology suggests. Researchers say the method by which animals are sorted into evolutionary ...
