A famous bronze sculpture from Eastern Han Dynasty, about 200 AD. “Bronze pacing horse poised on a swallow with wings outstretched”. The sculpture does not prove that the DMRT3 mutation was present in China 2 000 years ago, but the researchers believe it is possible based on its widespread distribution and because the Vikings apparently used such horses when they colonized Iceland 1 000 years ago.
