Abstract
The fossil record of horses has often featured in the debate between creationists and evolutionists about origins. Horses are particularly well represented in the geological record, especially in North America, and appear to form a convincing, though complex, evolutionary sequence. Many see the horse series as a major challenge to a creationist view of earth history. Thus, evolutionists have cited the series as important evidence in support of their theory, while creationists have attempted to debunk it as artificial and composed of non-equivalent parts.
