Of those biomes, the ones where horses would produce the greatest benefits to humans are more likely to see humans invest the time, energy, and resources into domestication. Additionally, the prior presence of other kinds of animal domestication would further increase the likelihood.<br /><br />The Eurasian Steppe simply works out as having the best odds.
