==Evolutionary view of origins==

Evolutionary biologists believe 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 our "modern-day horse," ''Equus'' (1 million years ago). This claim is based on various pieces of evidence for the gradual "change" of the leg bones from the toes of ''Eohippus'' to the hoofs of ''Equus''. The skull also shows an evolutionary trend from fossil to fossil.
