This is a theory I was thinking about when I saw horses doing work. Horses were domesticated somewhere between 4500BC - 2000BC
Prior to 1492 there were two worlds. Europe, Africa and Asia were the known world. The Americas formed the unknown world.
What if the biggest reason why the Native American people were less advanced is because horses in Americas were extinct by 8000BC.
Think about it, horses can exert more physical force and travel faster than a human. I think using horses enable people to build faster and larger, establish larger nations, travel faster, fight better and so on...
