Studies published in 2015 and 2017 reshaped Ice Age horse taxonomy. Barrón-Ortiz et al. (2017) combined cheek-tooth morphology with ancient mitochondrial DNA and found greater lineage complexity than traditional species assignments recognized. Heintzman et al. (2015) used mitochondrial and nuclear genomic evidence to place New World stilt-legged horses in a distinct lineage, proposing the genus Harringtonhippus, including Harringtonhippus francisci.
2015–2017 studies reshaped Ice Age horse taxonomy
Key facts
- Barrón-Ortiz et al. (2017) combined cheek-tooth morphology with ancient mitochondrial DNA from late Pleistocene horses in western North America, revealing greater lineage complexity than traditional species assignments recognized.
- Heintzman et al. (2015), not 2017, used mitochondrial and nuclear genomic evidence to place New World stilt-legged horses in a distinct lineage and proposed the genus Harringtonhippus.
- The correct species name is Harringtonhippus francisci; the supplied post misspells the genus and the key facts misspell the species epithet.
