run
When: 2mil years ago
Allowed: “A limit that a human can go the limit is 270.116 km Humans mostly searched for things to eat and hunted animals during this time”
Industry: “there's no industry around that time”
How it changed: “Humans evolved from ape-like ancestors because they needed to run long distances – perhaps to hunt animals or scavenge carcasses on Africa's vast savannah – and the ability to run shaped our anatomy, making us look like we do today.”

horse
When: 6000BC.
Allowed: Instead, the horse was harnessed solely for its incredible strength to pull plows, vehicles, and most significantly, to carry humans themselves. Without horses, the evolution of complex European economies and trading networks would have been unthinkable. Most significantly, the horse transformed the art of war.
Industry: After human found out horse can be ride by human they started doing creating jobs that are related to horses some like Stable hand · Horse groom · Barn Manager · Horse trainer · Veterinary assistant · Ranch hand · Veterinary technician
How it changed: Horses were used in war, in hunting and as a means of transport. They were animals of high prestige and importance and are widely represented in ancient art, often with great insight and empathy. The exhibition looks at how and why Middle Eastern horses, especially Arabians, were especially sought after and introduced into Britain for selective breeding between the 17th and 18th centuries, and shows how the vast majority of modern Thoroughbred racehorses are descended from just three celebrity stallions. Paintings, including famous works by George Stubbs and William Powell Frith, prints, silverware and memorabilia explore horses in British society, especially in recreation and competition, from race meetings through to modern Olympic equestrian events. So, how indebted are we to the horse? We hope that this exhibition will help remind us of the long and fruitful alliance between humans and horses.
