Analysis of ancient horse DNA reveals the gene flow between horse populations in North America, where they evolved, and Eurasia, where they were domesticated.
The study of DNA from horse fossils shows that horse populations on the two continents remained connected through the Bering Land Bridge, moving back and forth and interbreeding multiple times over hundreds of thousands of years.

When youâre making your dining choices this week, I suggest you consider a couple of special initiatives designed to shine a spotlight on local Black-owned restaurants as well as a celebration of Asian American and Pacific Islander heritage.
From now until Sunday, May 23, several Nashville restaurants are taking part in Black Restaurant Week, a multi-city celebration of African American, African and Caribbean cuisine that has been around since 2016, when Warren Luckett, Falayn Ferrell and Derek Robinson started the first event in Houston. Since then, the initiative has expanded across the country, supporting almost 700 restaurants over the years. This is Nashvilleâs first year participating, and it couldnât come at a better time.
