Summary:
- Researchers have analyzed the genomes of ancient horses found at the Schöningen archaeological site in Germany, which dates back over 300,000 years.
- The genetic analysis reveals that these ancient horses were closely related to modern Przewalski's horses, a rare breed that is considered the last surviving wild horse species.
- The findings provide insights into the evolution and migration patterns of horses over thousands of years, and help us better understand the history and diversity of this important animal species.
