Bayes factors best supported a horse domestication history in which a first lineage gave rise to botai borly4 and ph horses, whereas a second lineage founded dom2 and provided the source of domestic horses during at least the past ~4000 years, with minimal contribution from the botai borly4 lineage [95% confidence interval (ci) = 2.0 to 3.8%]. However, it seems the earliest domestic horses were being used by the botai people 5,500 years ago further east in central asia, but these people were completely unconnected with the yamnaya pastoralists. a further twist to the story is that botai descendants were later pushed out from the central steppe by migrations from the west.
