Equine Eve idea overturned by multiple ancient lineages
Researchers analyzing mitochondrial DNA in 191 horses from 10 modern breeds report that domestic horses derive from multiple female lineages captured from the wild rather than a single ancestral Eve. The study notes diverse ancient lines predate archaeological evidence of domestication, with horses widespread on Eurasian steppes 35,000 years ago and remains found around 6,000 years ago in Ukraine and Kazakhstan.

The move comes as rolling blackouts threaten daily life and the economy, with IS0 managing scarce grid reliability and a Gov. Davis bill freeing 400 million dollars to purchase power on the open market.
