    Journey to the ancient past with cutting-edge science and new data to discover how horses forever altered the course of human history. 
     
       
      
    From the Rockies to the Himalayas, the bond between horses and humans has spanned across time and civilizations. In this archaeological journey, William T. Taylor explores how momentous events in the story of humans and horses helped create the world we live in today. Tracing the horse's origins and spread from the western Eurasian steppes to the invention of horse-drawn transportation and the explosive shift to mounted riding, Taylor offers a revolutionary new account of how horses altered the course of human history. 
     
      
      
    Drawing on Indigenous perspectives, ancient DNA, and new research from Mongolia to the Great Plains and beyond, Taylor guides listeners through the major discoveries that have placed the horse at the origins of globalization, trade, biological exchange, and social inequality. Hoof Beats transforms our understanding of both horses and humanity's ancient past and asks us to consider what our relationship with horses means for the future of humanity and the world around us.

    Why Gerbils?  
    Gerbils are small, energetic, and highly social creatures that make wonderful pets for individuals and families alike. Known for their curious nature and adorable antics, these tiny rodents are relatively low-maintenance compared to other pets. They are perfect for both first-time pet owners and experienced animal lovers who are looking for a lively and interactive companion.  
      
    Understanding Gerbils as Pets  
    Before bringing gerbils into your life, it’s important to understand their unique characteristics and needs. Gerbils are diurnal, meaning they are active during the day, making them an ideal choice for pet owners who want to enjoy their pets' activity. They are also highly social animals, thriving in pairs or small groups, and they form strong bonds with their owners through regular interaction and care.

    Sherpa legend told of an enchanted valley with an invisible village, Shangri-La, that was said to be a place of great beauty. 
    The valley became the nemesis of legendary mountaineer Edmund Hillary, who travelled there to climb 7,129m Baruntse, but succumbed to the irresistible draw of Makalu, the great black mountain which towered over the valley. Makalu vanquished him, and he was never the same climber again. 
    Fifty years later, Mark Horrell embarked on a trek up the Barun Valley to follow in Hillary’s footsteps – at least some of the way. He hoped to climb Baruntse, but when he arrived, he learned of a terrible accident that had shaken the climbing community and would threaten his plans. 
    Yet one of the virtues of climbing in the Himalayas is that just reaching a mountain can be a great adventure. Join Mark on an entertaining journey across jungle, moorland, hill and valley to the frozen heights of the Barun Plateau.
