Abstract

The article reports on findings suggesting that the Botai hunter-gatherers who traveled the area of modern-day Kazakhstan roughly 3700 to 3100 B.C.E. may be responsible for the domestication of horses, not the Yamnaya, Bronze Age pastoralists of the Asian steppes as previously asserted. Topics include genetic testing of ceramic shard, genomic testing of Yamnaya and Botai indicating the groups did not intermingle, and the archaeological steppe hypothesis.
