One of the worlds leading experts on horse evolution traces the origins, evolution, and diversification of the equines.Long domesticated, related to rhinoceroses, and descended from a creature the size of a hare, horses are a fascinating study in evolution. Jens Franzens account explores the early evolution and eventual diversification of horse anatomy to explain how and why these once widespread and varied mammals became the common horses, zebras, and asses we know today. Beginning with their evolutionary rise roughly 55 million years ago, Franzen traces a history etched in fossils. He explains how improving body construction and energy balance allowed some horses to enter and thrive in new environments while others failed and became extinct. In presenting this story, Franzen hews closely to the Frankfurt theory of evolution and explains how it applies to the wide variations in the evolution of horse species.Accessibly written and featuring fullcolor photographs and illustrations throughout, The Rise of Horses is the complete chronicle of the evolution of the equids.

I thought the book would be more focused on modern horses, but it really centers on the evolutionary timeline. Some parts felt dry; I think it could have been more engaging.

Interesting but Lacked Depth
This book is packed with info about horses over millions of years, but I felt it could've gone into more detail in some sections. Worth a read if you’re curious about evolution, though!

Good but Took a While to Arrive
The book itself is wonderful, filled with fascinating facts about horses' evolution. However, it took longer than expected to arrive, which was a bummer. Still, I enjoyed the content!

Exceptional for Horse Enthusiasts
As a horse trainer, I found 'The Rise of Horses' incredibly insightful. The timeline and evolution of horses were detailed and well-researched. Highly recommended for those who work with horses!
