finding that people were domesticating horses a thousand years earlier than thought. Evidence from Kazakhstan shows people were riding and milking horses 5,500 years ago. The authors of the paper in Science, surprisingly, attributed this to a kind of anthropological convergent evolution: “The fact that horse milking existed in a region remote from the locus of ruminant domestication in the ‘Fertile Crescent’ and in an area seemingly devoid of domestic ruminants indicates that the evolution of strategies for exploiting animals for their milk was not contingent on the adoption of the conventional ‘agricultural package,’ as it appears to have developed independently in the Botai region.” One anthropologist told National Geographic, “If you’re milking horses, they are not wild!” CEH

P.S.--Here's what someone online had to say about the taste of horse milk--in case you ever wondered what it tastes like... ".... but the horse milk that I drank was the nastiest beverage I’ve ever put into my mouth, and I will never drink it again."
