Evolutionists claim that the modern horse has slowly evolved into its present form over the course of about 60 million years. From Eohippus (60 million years ago) to Equus (1 million years ago). They base this claim on the gradual "change" of the leg bones and skulls from the toes of Eohippus to the hoofs of Equus. However, there is no site in the entire world that this supposed macroevolutionary succession can be seen in the fossil record. Instead, the fossils have been gathered from several different '''continents''' and put together to form the sequence.<ref>Exploring Creation with Biology, by Dr. Jay L. Wile and Marilyn F.

In addition to the location of the fossils, evolution demands that in order for this sequence to be true, Eohippus must have lived '''before''' all of the others. Therefore, Eohippus would be found lower than all the others in the rock strata. However, fossils of '''Equus''' have been found just as close to the surface of the earth as Eohippus fossils.
