nThe entire horse evolution series was disproved years ago. No knowledgeable scientist would support the
horse evolution as depicted in textbooks today.
Some of the evidence against the proposed theory
includes:
nEohippus was referred to as Hyracotherium by its
discoverer because of its resemblance to the genus Hyrax, which was not a horse
nThe number of
lumbar vertebrae changes from six to eight and then back to six in
the “horse series.”
nFossils of three-toed and one-toed species
are preserved in the same rock formation in Nebraska, showing that they
lived at the same time
nModern horses
vary in size from 17 inches high (Fallabella in Argentina) to the
7 foot high Clydesdale
nThere is no consensus on horse ancestry among
paleontologists
