Why stop there if we're going back in time? All the horses in the Americas descended from horses the conquistadors brought with them when they were plundering the continent
I was gonna be like "nah you're way off no way cavemen domesticated horses surely" but turns out after a quick google, depending on what you call cavemen, horses may have been domesticated in the Eurasian Steppes in like 3500 BC, and the Neolithic period ended in 2000BC
That is well past "caveman" times though. Writing existed in some places already at that point. It seems so recent to me. I can't believe so much has gone into horse domestication in only 5,000 years.
