About 20 years ago,
an evolutionist paleontologist Dr.
Niles Eldredge from one of the world's most
famous museums, the American Museum of Natural
History, confessed that evolutionist claims about the horse
series diagrams displayed in his own museum were imagi-
nary. Eldredge criticized assertions that this speculative se-
ries was valid enough to be included in textbooks.
I admit that an awful lot of that has gotten into the text-
books as though it were true. For instance, the most famous
example still on exhibit downstairs is the exhibit on horse evolu-
tion prepared perhaps 50 years ago. That has been presented as
literal truth in textbook after textbook. Now I think that is lam-
entable, particularly because the people who propose these
kinds of stories themselves may be aware of the speculative na-
ture of some of the stuff. 137
These comments from experts clearly show that assertions
about the horse series are unsubstantiated. Even today, how-
ever, museums around the world exhibit the
horse series and tell visitors the tale
