Horse in Human History
The horse is surely the 'aristocrat' of animals domesticated by man. Horse-chariotry and cavalry in effect changed the nature of warfare in the civilisations of the Middle East, India, and China. This book assesses the impact of the horse on human society from 4000 BC to AD 2000, by first describing initial horse domestication on the Pontic-Caspian steppes and the early development of driving and riding technologies.
Rapidity of horse communications forged far-flung equestrian empires, where language, law, weights, measures, and writing systems were standardised and revolutionary technologies and ideas were disseminated across continents. Beyond the battlefield, horsepower also afforded great advances in transport, agriculture, industry, and science. Following Columbian contact, Old and New World cultures are evaluated in terms of presence or absence of the horse and Spanish conquest of the horseless America is seen as the model for subsequent European equestrian colonisation of horseless territories around the world.
