i also think we should be working to expand this article to include extinct non equus species in the family just because they're extinct doesn't mean they shouldn't be documented here in fact they most certainly should be documented in order to give a better understanding of the family as a whole and before anyone suggests adding that to the horse evolution page forget it any addition of factual information is doomed to failure on the horse evolution page they're too many people who think about the european horse in relation to the rest of the family the same thing that most humans think about themselves in relation to the other primates namely that the european domesticated horse is the end of equine evolution this is patently false of course but it doesn't really matter in the long run because too many people think it and there aren't enough people opposing such ridiculous ideas
