Pure fiction. There is scant evidence to suggest that the fossil remains of those animals represent a series of evolving horses in that order. For all we know they could be 4 co-existing species of horse or they might have evolved in a different order. This is an example of evolutionary propoganda where someone proposes a theory to explain 4 sets of fossils and hey presto it's a fact. Can you cite one piece of evidence that supports the notion that these creatures actually form an evolutionary series in that order?
Sorry Jimbo, I thought it was a fact, perhaps i was wrong
