William Taylor on origins of horseback riding

Can horseback riding impact your skeleton? A new study sheds light on when humans first took to horseback riding, and what we can and can’t discern from skeletal remains. The study, published in Science Advances, was co-authored by Associate Professor of Anthropology, IBS Affiliate and Curator of Archaeology at the CU Museum of Natural History, William Taylor and Lauren Hosek, lead author and assistant professor of anthropology at CU Boulder. Both authors talk more about their findings for CU Boulder Today’s Daniel Strain.
