modern horse breeds included in the study clustered into a roughly 700 - year - old haplogroup, transmitted to Europe by the import of Oriental
stallions, they report.
«Our data therefore illuminate the enormous impact
modern horse breeding strategies — characterized by strong selection of males and the import of Oriental
stallions — during the past few hundred years had on Y chromosome diversity.»
«Most
modern horses are descendants of recently imported Oriental
stallions.»
It had been difficult to reconstruct the history of
stallions before because there is extremely low diversity in the Y chromosomes of
modern horses to start.
Maybe it could include a set of unique weapon skins, access to a San Andreas
Stallion and an outfit that closer resembles a
