Seems that there were many fewer different species in the past in that particular genus ~ about the same number as today.
What is different is that some of the smaller varieties were bigger, some of the bigger varieties were smaller, some of the dark horses were lighter, and some of the lighter horses were darker. (roughly what they report).
What that means is that VARIATION WITHIN SPECIES is rather dominant among horses and horselike animals within that genus.
No doubt some of the CREO folks might like to read that article in full. No doubt some of the EVO folks OUGHT to read that article in full.
Just another instance of further scientific research using facts rather than presumptions leads to unanticipated conclusions ~ oh, yeah, another point they made is that human beings and horses share a tremendous number of the SAME GENES.

snip: Why Has Evolution Stopped?
It hasn’t. Why would you think it has?
Spirited: Sorry Phile, but your way of thinking has become the ‘new dinosaurism.’ It’s passe-—it’s out. Today’s version of evolution is ‘spiritual, ‘ according to green occult pantheists. Absolute spirit is THE FORCE within evolution, and it is ‘causing’ certain ‘chosen ones’ like the powerful, influential Barbara Marx Hubbard to evolve spiritually. The next ‘quantum leap in evolution’ will usher in the ‘gods and goddesses.’
Even now, globalist transnational green progressives are busily engaged in ‘stealing’ Darwin away from evolutionary materialists. Darwin is being drained of materialist canon and being refilled with green spiritism.
