Researchers have found evidence of horseback riding in skeletal remains of people who lived about 5,000 years ago, adding to a body of research on when people first started using horses to get around.
A new study of ancient human remains finds that horse riding may have been common as early as 4,500 to 5,000 years ago.
People first started keeping horses about 5,500 years ago, initially for their meat and milk, researchers believe. But how and when horses became a transformative mode of transportation isn't so clear. Some researchers, like Anthony and his partner, archaeologist Dorcas Brown, have examined the teeth of ancient horses, to check for wear patterns caused by bits. The trouble is, there's not that much material out there to study, says Anthony.

Researchers provide proof of the helical coiling of condensed chromosomesThe iconic X-shaped organization of metaphase chromosomes is frequently presented in textbooks and other media. The drawings explain in captivating manner that the majority of genetic information is stored in chromosomes, which transmit it to the next generation. 'These presentations suggest that the chromosome ultrastructure is well-understood. However, this is not the case,' says Dr. Veit Schubert from IPK's chromosome structure and function research group.
