The horse's evolutionary lineage became a common feature of biology textbooks, and the sequence of transitional fossils was assembled by the American Museum of Natural History into an exhibit that emphasized the gradual, "straight-line" evolution of the horse.
Hestens evolutionære afstamning blev en fast del af lærebøger i biologi, og de fossile overgangsformer blev samlet af American Museum of Natural History i en udstilling, der understregede den gradvise evolution af hesten i lige linje fra fortid til nutid.
