    Interesting! Wonder how that would’ve changed early American cultures if they hadn’t died off?

      Hey, just a little FYI but humans were in North America before the horse went extinct* so they likely did have some interaction with ancient cultures.

      _* From what I gather there is heated debate as to whether the domesticated horse that was brought back to North America is truly non-native. I’m not a paleontologist nor phylogeneticist so I can’t speak to any of that.
