As heard on The Academic Minute, findings from NYITCOM anatomy professor, Nikos Solounias, Ph.D., refute the theory that today’s horses are one-toed, arguing that the animals retained remnants of five toes from an early ancestor. As he notes in the segment, which aired on WAMC Public Radio and was shared with readers of Inside HigherEd, Solounias discovered not only fossil evidence in support of his claims, but also neurovascular clues. He states:

“Fetal dissections of the modern horse reveal a greater number of arteries and nerves than would be expected in a single digit. If today’s horse is indeed monodactyl, meaning one digit per forelimb, we would expect each forelimb to have two veins, two arteries, and two nerve bundles. However, we found between five and seven neurovascular bundles per forelimb, suggesting that more toes begin to develop, but do not fully form. Therefore, the horse is not truly monodactyl as previously expected.”
