The endurance running hypothesis is a series of conjectures which presume humans evolved anatomical and physiological adaptations to run long distances [1] [2] [3] and, more strongly, that "running is the only known behavior that would account for the different body plans in Homo as opposed to apes or australopithecines".
Horses also fit the six core criteria for livestock domestication, and thus, it could be argued, "chose" to live in close proximity to humans. [73] One model of horse domestication starts with individual foals being kept as pets while the adult horses were slaughtered for meat. Foals are relatively small and easy to handle.
Extinct equids restored to scale. Left to right: Mesohippus, Neohipparion, Eohippus, Equus scotti and Hypohippus.

[22] [23] Horses only returned to the American mainland with the arrival of the conquistadores in 1519. [24]
