      As the other comment pointed out, horses used to be found in the America’s, but had since gone extinct before Europeans reintroduced them.

        Horse-like ancestors, not horses. And they were 10,000 years ago.

          In the same way that man wasn’t drastically different evolution wise from that period to now (science says we got a little shorter, but thats about it genetically) , horses were not some wild precursor species here. They were just horses. Potentially stockier, but still horses
