Some intelligent and some very dumb comments on that article. One woman was saying it couldn't be "ancient" because prehistoric horses had three toes. Ummm......30,000 years ago - that is, I believe, the Pleistocene, the era of the modern single-toed horse. She's probably only off by a few million years on that comment. Another felt that this might disprove equine evolution. Some misunderstanding of the time scale in these cases, I guess.
ETA: I recall reading that they have determined that Prezwalskii (sp?) horse, long thought to be the only true "wild" horse has been found to be feral. So, if as some people suggest, they should try to create a clone from this (is that even possible? - shades of Jurassic Park!), I suppose THAT would be a truly wild horse?
