Understanding the cause of late Quaternary mammal extinctions is the subject of intense
debate spanning the fields of archeology and paleontology. In the global context, the losses …

The horse was domesticated only 5.5 KYA, thousands of years after dogs, cattle, pigs,
sheep, and goats. The horse nonetheless represents the domestic animal that most …

To understand the current biodiversity crisis, it is crucial to determine how humans have
affected biodiversity in the past. However, the extent of human involvement in species …

The rich fossil record of equids has made them a model for evolutionary processes. Here we
present a 1.12-times coverage draft genome from a horse bone recovered from permafrost …
