The Horse: Man's Most Useful Companion - by Razib Khan

 Salvete Omnes,

I will start this new year of  my bloggin' with the link to the podcast by Razib Khan on the horse's prehistory, spread and characteristics prior to the domestication and some general aspects of great value for domestication by us, humans.

The podcast via Ytube- The Horse: Man's Most Useful Companion.
It is a monologue, fast paced and dense with information and concepts. Rather galloping speed but deep in scope and particular with examples.  Nota bene, 

 Razib talks about the Yukon horse too in the context of massive extinction of the horse in the prehistoric Americas. 

Also the podcaster & researcher about horse anatomy, the long muzzle and large eye etc. 

A very interesting presentation.

and the two books he mention -
T. Winegard - The Horse.
W. T. Taylor -  The Hoof Beats.
