You keep mentioning this siberian evidence. I've never heard of it.
Siberia is not exactly a useful place for horses, being all bogs
and conifer forest. The earliest evidence of which I'm aware is
from the steppes of the ukraine, which makes much more sense.
What's your reference for this siberian material?
