New results on the history of horse domestication were published in the current issue of Acta Archaeologica Hungaricae in late 2025. The results confirm that an early horse lineage—widespread prior to the emergence of modern domestic horses—survived into the Middle Bronze Age in the Carpathian Basin. The study was conducted as part of a joint research programme of the ELTE RCH Institute of Archaeogenomics and the MTA–ELTE RCH Momentum BASES Research Group, which investigates the history of horses in the 3rd and 2nd millennia BCE.
