ModernΒ horsesΒ have come a long way since their prehistoric ancestors roamed the grasslands and prairies of Cenozoic North America. The evolution of the horse,Β a mammal of the family Equidae, occurred over a geologic time scale ofΒ 50 million years, transforming the small, dog-sized, forest-dwellingΒ Eohippus into the modern horse. Paleozoologists have been able to piece together a more complete outline of the evolutionary lineage of the modern horse than of any other life. Much of this evolution took place in North America, where horses originated.
