Abstract
The article focuses on the Anatolia, a region with an extended history of horse exploitation that has been considered a candidate for the origins of domestic horses but has never been subject to detailed investigation. It mentions that paleogenetic study of pre-and protohistoric horses in Anatolia and the Caucasus encompasses the presumed transition from wild to domestic horses. It also mentions that horses have played important role in human history.
