核心要点
The Animal That Built Civilization
What if everything you thought defined human progress-cities, empires, trade routes, even the languages you speak-was actually built on the back of a single animal? For 5,500 years, horses weren't just transportation. They were the engine of civilization itself, reshaping warfare, agriculture, commerce, and culture in ways so profound we still measure mechanical power in "horsepower." This partnership began with a daring leap on the windswept steppes of Eurasia, when some brave soul first climbed onto a wild horse's back and forged what historians call the "Centaurian Pact"-a fusion of human intellect and equine power that would carry our species from scattered tribes to global empires. Though relegated to racetracks and riding schools today, horses were as essential to daily life a century ago as smartphones are now. Their story is our story, and understanding it reveals just how much of our world was literally carried into existence on four hooves.
