What animal did the horse come from? Detailed answer
Directory / Big encyclopedia. Questions for quiz and self-education Did you know? What animal did the horse come from? Many animals that now exist on earth descended from creatures that were much larger than them. The horse is the opposite. The first known ancestor of the horse was no larger than a cat. He had 4 toes on his front feet and 3 on his back. It was called "Eohippus" or "low horse". The remains of these horse ancestors have been found in many parts of our planet, such as Wyoming and New Mexico. Later ancestors of horses were larger in size. Only one finger touched the ground, though another was visible on each side. The subsequent development of only one toe enabled the horse to move faster. Survival depended on it - whether or not you would run away from the enemy. The modern horse's hoof is actually a greatly enlarged nail on this toe. The main habitat of the horse in prehistoric times was Asia, North Africa, Europe and North America. The American variety of horses disappeared many thousands of years ago. Modern horses were brought there from Europe by the Spaniards. Almost certainly, horses came from the east to the civilized countries of Asia Minor and the Mediterranean. They first appeared in Babylonia around 3000 BC, then in Egypt around 1675 BC. These horses were probably domesticated by the nomadic tribes of Central Asia. In prehistoric times, the meat of horses was eaten until someone thought of using them as a means of transportation. The earliest depictions and wooden figurines of horses were made by European cavemen around 15 years ago. The horses depicted in these drawings are very similar to modern Mongolian ponies. In fact, the last surviving variety of wild horses can be found in Mongolia and Chinese Turkestan. It is called "Przewalski's horse" after the man who discovered this species in 1870. It is believed that the Przewalski's horse is the direct ancestor of the modern horse. Author: Likum A.
How did stock markets originate? Millions of people - if not half of the US population - have a personal interest in what happens on the stock market. Some have an immediate interest because they co-own companies through the shares they hold. Others are owners of government shares and other securities. Another group is the owners of insurance companies and insurance bank accounts. For some time now, banks and insurance companies have been investing heavily in securities. A stock exchange is a market for buying and selling securities such as stocks, bonds, bonds. This market has been around for centuries. And the exchange began with regular meetings, usually in a cafe or restaurant, of several people who were intermediaries between the buyer and the seller. They did it for a commission. In London, for example, the brokers met at Jonathan's coffee shop in Change Alley. In 1773 they moved to premises on Sweeting Alley. This room was given the name "Stock Exchange". In the US, in order to pay for the cost of the Revolutionary War, to finance other activities, it became necessary to sell stocks and bonds to the public. But people didn't want to invest in stocks unless they could easily resell them. Therefore, the securities market became necessary. The brokers of those days decided to meet under the plane trees on Wall Street. These people became the first members of the New York Stock Exchange. Their trading floor was a small piece of land surrounded by old trees, but it was the first stock exchange in the United States. In other countries of the world, stock exchanges arose even earlier. The money market in Paris marked the beginning of the first French stock exchange. This was in 1138. In Amsterdam, the first securities market appeared in 1611.
