On 14 May, 12 noon, Professor William T. Taylor, Assistant Professor and Curator of Archaeology at the University of Colorado-Boulder, will give a talk at The Jockey Club Rooms about the impact of the horse on human civilisation, based on his new, acclaimed book, Hoof Beats.Hoof Beats explores how momentous events in the story of humans and horses helped create the world we live in today. Tracing the horse’s origins and spread from the western Eurasian steppes to the invention of horse-drawn transportation and the explosive shift to mounted riding, Taylor offers a revolutionary new account of how horses altered the course of human history. Hoof Beats transforms our understanding of both horses and humanity’s ancient past and asks us to consider what our relationship with horses means for the future of
humanity and the world around us.
