The early domestication of the horse: Hoof Beats by William T. Taylor

The "pre-history" of the horse seen by an Archeologist, a book to understand what we know about the early domestication and adoption of the horse in various part of the world.
What I cover: Who is the author, what does the book discuss, how is the book organized, what I liked and disliked about the book, who is this book for in my opinion.
I also share some information that I found surprising and others that I was very glad to see explored with scientific exactitude.
