This horse series in a museum display is comprised of various
animals that lived at different times, and in different geographi-
cal locations. Here they have been arranged arbitrarily, one
after the other, to suggest a linear sequence, according to a bi-
ased perspective. This scenario of equine “evolution” has no
support in the fossil record.
