in the American West by the early 1600s. </span> <span data-start-time='9542' data-end-time='15125'>That is earlier than most written histories have estimated.</span> <span data-start-time='15125' data-end-time='31021'>The new finding came from examinations of horse bones gathered from museums across the central Great Plains and northern Rocky Mountain areas of the U.S.</span> <span data-start-time='31021' data-end-time='39083'>The study’s estimate supports spoken histories of several Native American groups. </span> <span data-start-time='39083' data-end-time='50688'>The groups say their communities kept horses of Spanish origin before Europeans physically arrived in their homelands.</span> <span data-start-time='50688' data-end-time='58500'>A study describing the findings recently appeared in the publication Science. </span> <span data-start-time='58500' data-end-time='69333'>More than 80 co-writers took part in the study, including archaeologists, geneticists and historians. </span> <span data-start-time='69333' data-end-time='79250'>The team also included scientists from the Lakota, Comanche and Pawnee Native American nations.</span> <span data-start-time='79250' data-end-time='91479'>Past research suggests that the ancestors of modern horses first appeared in North America millions of years ago. </span> <span data-start-time='91479' data-end-time='100979'>That is before horses arrived on the central plains of Europe and Asia, where they were domesticated. </span> <span data-start-time='100979' data-end-time='110417'>But those early horse ancestors disappeared from North America about 6,000 years ago.</span> <span data-start-time='110417' data-end-time='121542'>In the new study, scientists examined more than 20 sets of horse remains from sites in several U.S. states. </span> <span data-start-time='121542' data-end-time='132625'>They aimed to establish that horses were ridden and raised by Indigenous groups by the early 1600s. </span> </p></div><div class='control-buttons-sticky' style='display:none;'><div class='control-buttons'><button title='Back' class='back' disabled='disabled'></button><button
