They're a proxy of steppe nomads. They barely fit into modern society, and they're overly proud of the fact they owned the world at one point, have a pretty strong culture, however their countries aren't that relevant because the traits that raised them to be steppe nomads does not contribute well to modern society

Also I guess the Chinese probably carry quite a few horse like features themselves now.

The world as we know it would be so disrupted by the introduction of a significant number of sentient mythological monsters that this question can only be answered with war.

If only so much are introduced as to not result in a global panic and societal collapse, then they would become impoverished minorities.

>>55205315
They'd be enough of a novelty to become professional equine sport players and fetish objects...

Which is actually a lot like what happens to some minorities already come to think of it.

Depends on their size. I'm assuming there are multiple species of centaurs. Big fuck of Clydesdale work Centaurs would be good for manual labor in places most vehicles can't operate in which would be good for ecologically minded folks.

Smaller breeds could live in towns adjusted for them like deertaur and what not so they could do most domestic tasks anyone else can do so long as the space is accomodating to them.

I recognize that centaur.

>>55204156
Every job that needs bikes or horses.
I suppose a lot of them would join border patrols and smugglers.

They could be mail workers or park rangers.

It seems they would still have a variety of roles left open to them that somehow escaped me. But could majority centaur nations remain independent or would they be conquered coming into the modern era?

>>55205412
Explain how a single species didn't drive the others to extinction in the 10k years it would take them to go from savages to modern society.

>>55205564
As far as I know consensus is that the only reason neanderthals aren't roaming around with us today is because we are their descendants from banging homo sapiens, so I think it's perfectly reasonable to think if there were any other sapient species as capable as modern humans that either side driving the other to extinction might be a process that could last until the modern era if anyone thought to try it. As for the possibility of competition driving one to extinction, they could have developed in another part of the world preventing competition until later on.

>>55205564
They fucked them instead.

Professional athletes and police officers, assuming they are just as capable as humans in utilizing the upper body, of course.

Imagine cross-country runners, football (association or handegg flavor) and baseball players, etc. They still have the ability to use their arms and throw/bat/use whatever implement but their horse legs would make the running phase a lot more intense and enjoyable to watch.

Police officers are an obvious choice, they couldn't be soldiers due to being a large target and the massive amount of firepower on the modern battlefield (machine guns, artillery, etc) but since most criminals are armed with knives and pistols, you could layer them with enough kevlar to protect them from the kind of weapons most criminals use, also their superior running speed compared to bipeds means they would be better at chasing down perps. Also better than a human in unarmed, hand to hand fighting (or hoof to hoof as it were) which is an integral of a policeman's job. Ever been kicked by a horse? It can be fatal, now imagine the horse is specifically trying to disable you (joint strikes, neck strikes, groin shots) instead of just reacting out of instinct.

>>55205657
Yep. Whites and Asians are the descendants of Neanderthals, while Aborigines are the descendants of Denisovans.

>>55205665
That would still result in the extinction of a species.

>>55205688

>>55205657
>they could have developed in another part of the world preventing competition until later on.
Then they would have gotten their shit pushed in come the colonial periods.

See Africa, Asia, and the Americas.

>>55204156
Glue factory operators.

>>55205689
That is true. I guess being different enough, they wouldn't be able to bang though, so it would only leave competition and warfare as means to drive the other to extinction which might not happen.

>>55205689
Nope. See >>55205688

You'd just have a regional Human variant with hooves or funny ears instead of the traits carried over from other hominids.

>>55205728
That is only assuming that factors lead to them not being around the same level technologically when they meet. It could be that the ones in the "new world" this time are actually the superior ones technologically and while still affected by new diseases, they can better handle it than the ones coming to their shores and being exposed to diseases that developed there.

They were sophisticated compared to Homo Sapiens at the time, actually. Some even used more advanced tools and had more stable societies than S. Sapiens did, or so it appears.

God the animation in that hentai was so bad

I could see cavalry still have place in modern military if there were centaurs. Thing is that they're basically horses, but sentient, so can be trained for variety of roles. They can also easily wield rifles and other modern weapons due to having human upper body.

>>55206041
Cavalry became pretty obsolete in the modern era though. Situationally it could still be useful, but otherwise it was pretty nasty for the cavalry from my understanding.
>>55206170
I can't be sure, but they could be useful in open areas without much infrastructure.

China and middle eastern history are really fun. When there isn't a boot on the throat of everyone in the region it turns into a real shit show.

>>55206196
Yes, but when you have a horse with human hands and brain it's a whole different story. One of main problems with cavalry was that horses couldn't really be trained for anything else than riding and pulling things. They also had problems of being scared of sounds of gunfire unless extensively trained and couldn't really understand concept of taking cover etc. due to limitations of their horse brains. Centaurs wouldn't have those problems.

>>55206310
That is a good point, but I imagine there wouldn't be much in the way of significant cover for something the size of a horse anyway, at least not without the advantage of time to put that cover there. Centaur cavalry seems more and more interesting by the second though.

Literally all your sources say is evidence suggests that Neanderthal appeared to be more advanced then previously believed, not more advanced than their human counterparts.

Do you have any evidence to support this statement:
>Some even used more advanced tools and had more stable societies than S. Sapiens did, or so it appears.

Also, the problem with centaurs being a bigger target is pretty obvious, but they're still smaller targets than vehicles in general. They would probably be most useful in enviroments where wheels fail such as jungles and would have support role of being intelligent pack animals. They could have also fighting roles of being moving heavy weapons (~.50 cal MGs and maybe recoilles rifles) platforms with weapons mounted on their back and remotely operated with their hands.

Like this.

>>55206369
We're talking about events that happened tens of thousands of years before S. Sapiens got to the places S. Neanderthalensis lived, and one event that shows S. Neanderthalensis independently developing new hunting and gathering strategies to compensate for a change in climate, which were thought to be techniques only S. Sapiens was capable of.

Neanderthals were more advanced in the time-frame of the earlier discoveries. When S. Sapiens finally got to Europe they were still roughly equivalent socially and technologically.

>>55206337
You know horses can actually duck and lie down which makes them much smaller target. Centaurs could also probably be trained to do lots of poses that normal horses can't even think of getting into.

Isn't the advantage of the horse half their mobility though? If they're laying down, they're no better or worse than human infantry. I'm not sure how much ducking will help either, but you probably have a better grasp of this than I do.

When early humans got to Europe, the Neanderthals disappeared in an evolutionary blink of an eye.

>>55204156
You do realize that one of the bigger issues in farm work is that horses are kinda dumb, right?

>>55206557
Their mobility wouldn't by much of advantage in modern warfare, but the fact that they can carry way more stuff than humans would be. They could also easily go into places where you can't go with wheels. US army is developing Big Dog robot for these purposes and centaurs would do the same job better with added bonus of being capable to shoot at enemy just like any other infantry.

>>55206638
Frankly, I know nothing about horses and that is probably why I'm so stumped by this. >>55206652

No, they interbred and became Eurasians. Their genetic inheritance is still here, and you're most likely part of it.

https://phys.org/news/2017-02-neanderthal-dna-contributes-human-gene.html

https://www.quantamagazine.org/how-neanderthal-dna-helps-humanity-20160526/

Note that skin tone and freckling genes are a Neanderthal throwback, as well as a gene for height that reduces the risk of schizophrenia.

That .5-1.5% of coding DNA that Eurasians inherited from Neanderthals may seem small, but it appears to be quite important.

>>55206740
I should have specified, sorry. Still would be just as interesting to think of in how they would get to this point.

>>55206695
It was automatic weapons which made charging cavalry useless and that already happened in WW1. In WW2 horses were used more to carry stuff and pull things like artillery pieces. However, if you had charging cavalry who could shoot more accurate (shooting from horseback is very hard and) and could even spray gunfire when moving, it might work out better.

>>55206757
Every academic institution worth respecting agrees that Neanderthals are extinct. Only a small fringe group argues that they're not because Eurasians have a small amount of Neanderthal DNA.

>>55205774

Yes god forbid we assume the outcome so likely that others need not be considered. Both the development and spread of ideas and technology depends so fucking much on happenstance and environmental factors that it'd literally be impossible outside of "gods made the setting in the current year as is, no questions" for that to happen.

>>55206869

personally I combine that with the "gods are actually a significantly advanced alien intelligence" that just happens to have a fetish for inter-species fucking

>>55206975
At what point has it even been brought up that any of these species would be fucking outside their own species?

>>55206996
It hasn't, I was just giving an excuse that I'm currently using in an ERP game.

Multiple species exist because "gods" created them. They can all fuck and a lot can have children because some of the "gods" of lover and fertility find the idea enjoyable.

>>55207055
So why are people acting like it has? Also, what's so bad about the idea that natural happenstance has allowed multiple sapient species to exist into the modern era?

>>55206820
That's an absurd movement of the goalposts.
>troll post about Eurasian savagery countered
>ask for sources
>receive sources
>move goalposts
>receive more sources
>appeal to authority

If you're not going to argue in good faith, why argue at all?

The fact is that Hominid subspecies are being shown by modern research to be more closely related than previously thought, both in genetic compatibility and social behavior. Not only that, but some of the genes that Eurasians inherited from their ancestors seem to be incredibly beneficial, and represent the survival strategies of the Neanderthal subspecies merged with those of the "main" Sapiens line.

At this point you could open a huge can of worms about race and species or some sweeping comparison to dog breeds or whatever, but the fact is that Eurasians are a mix between S. Sapiens and S. Neanderthalensis, and Tibetans and some Pacific Islanders are a mix between those two and S. Altai (Denisovans) and regional divisions have prevented those genes from reaching Africa.

So basically, a horse-hoofed hominid subspecies is possible within the framework of modern genetics (that is, if centaurs aren't already a crossbreed between humans and some horse-like creature).

>>55207143
>troll post about Eurasian savagery countered
You should have stopped here you goose.

>>55207109
>So why are people acting like it has?
Because we all know OP just wants monster girl NPCs to fap too.

>Also, what's so bad about the idea that natural happenstance has allowed multiple sapient species to exist into the modern era?
Because no one here has the time or the qualifications to generate a reasonable proposal of what those "natural happenstances" would be, let alone defend them.

>>55207143
>If you're not going to argue in good faith, why argue at all?
You answered your own question mate. (((troll)))

>>55207239
I don't see it that way, and OP has only asked what niche they would fill in a modern world and whether they could exist independently of other species or if they would be conquered as far as I can see so how it happened isn't so important is it?

>>55207286
>I don't see it that way
That's great, good for you.

>so how it happened isn't so important is it?
It's extremely important if you care about that sort of thing. But this thread obviously doesn't so lets just be honest about this whole fiasco being fap-bait.

We already have people sharing lewds of cross species lesbians.

>>55207343
But it has nothing to do with OP's questions, so is it really OP's fault if it got hijacked?

>>55207109
Because for humans to be at the point they are at today there existed hundreds of linchpin moments which if they did not happen or happened when they weren't supposed to, the world would be vastly different than it is today.

Now we aren't here by pure luck (though there were certain natural disasters that could have wiped us out entirely so I guess that isn't strictly true), but we have what we have purely based on which probabilities took off for us. So many discoveries leading up to our modern understanding of the world happened purely by chance or accident.

Now you need to have all of that happen twice, at the same time or it all falls apart. Oh this one human book ended up being lost on its way to its destination? Well shit that butterfly affected humans back 300 years in terms of medical technology. Oh some documents thrown in a toilet ended up completely illegible by the time they were found by centaur special forces? Looks like their last major war continued on an extra year longer than it needed to.

This is the kind of case eastern storytelling actually shines in. Just fuck it. You want centaurs existing on the same world as humans so they're there. Don't pretend there is any more reason for it than that.

>>55207367
OP knew what he was doing.

>>55207399
You're right, but OP never asked for how it got there in the first place, only the niches they fill. Talking about this stuff is interesting though.

>>55207450
How it got there in the first place would greatly impact which niches are available for them to even fill, let alone which specific ones.

>>55207468
That is true. OP should have really just said he wanted to ignore such factors and base it purely on what we can assume of their abilities.

>>55207490
OP knew what he was doing.

>>55207450
Then its literally just a case of throwing centaurs into positions horses are normally.
>>55207528
Like this. Everyone knows about police horses so boom that's a centaur now. Nice easy application of "just fuck it whatever".

>>55207564
Horses are not as intelligent as centaurs could be, which could change how long cavalry could be useful as someone pointed out, so there is that to consider as well without delving into how they got to this point.

>>55207564
>Nice easy application of "just fuck it whatever".
Lazy way is sometimes the best way.

>>55207591
It would drastically change when true cavalry arrived.

>>55207609
That it might.

>>55207591
Centaurs are literally just horse and rider combined though. So presumably they'd just be a little more effective at anything a horse with a rider could do.

>>55207706
They'd much more effective because what's limiting usefulness of horses is that they're dumb and not capable of taking orders.

>>55207706
Being freed for the horse's lack of understanding means they can work in environments and under conditions that would scare horses senseless though, so there may be entirely new possibilities. Could work in factories hauling heavy ass shit, or maybe even in mines.

>>55207790
>Could work in factories hauling heavy ass shit, or maybe even in mines.
You mean like horses and mules used to?

>>55207807
Maybe, but why'd the stop using them?

>>55207807
You'd need to train the horses and they would need handlers. Centaurs could do that by themselves and wouldn't really need any training.

>>55207790
Horses being pussies is a modern thing. We used to literally throw horses to their deaths against pikes while they were being shot at. You breed for what you need. We don't need brave horses anymore.

>>55207776
We wouldn't be riding them if they weren't capable of taking orders, and they're good at taking orders because they're dumb. That's the thing though. If we lost the added bulk of a rider then yes smarter horses would potentially create additional applications.
We aren't though. The rider is just part of the horse now. Centaurs don't really bring anything new to the table they just rearrange what's already there.

>>55207841
Heavy machinery that's immensely more efficient doesn't need to grow up before it's useful, and can be fixed part by part instead of throwing it out and getting a new one?

>>55207845
If anything that's a detriment to centaurs. They'd be more more likely to question their orders or prioritize survival. If you run a horse towards a hail of arrows and it dies, whatever. Fuck it, pick yourself up if you're in plate you'll still be fine. Move on with your life and bruised ribs. Centaur ain't gonna do that because it can't be so easily separated from its lower half.

>>55207997
Actually thinking on it a bit more. Humans generally have used horses in ways that aren't exactly good for the horse. If we assume centaurs take over the same jobs then they'd likely die young with a lot of joint pain.

So if anything in the modern profit driven world they'd be worthless. They require much more resources and space than humans. Yet the only things they're good for industrially can be easily replaced with machinery most of the time, jack up your company's insurance premiums, require an equally accessible workspace which would be costly given their size, and that isn't mentioning how their existence would effect worker's rights and labor laws.

I can say I certainly wouldn't want to hire a centaur.

Or you could go the slave species route I guess, but by the modern era with machinery they'd stop being useful in that role. Even then I feel like pre-modern it would still be easier have a single handler manage a bunch of horses that will need to be spend all that time individually educating (but not too much) centaurs until they're able to do the job required of them only to burn out at a similar rate to a normal horse. Much more likely to get yourself a slave revolt if you do things that way, and it doesn't save you from needing an animal handler to teach them.

>>55204156
Agriculture, postal/delivery service, ranchers, brothels, police and security, anything that requires moving heavy stuff from one place to another manually.

>>55208302
Yeah I'm good. Thanks though.

>>55206310
The problem is that one of the best things about cavalry is that your horse is an independent creature that you give commands to, but handles things like moving and balance and how it feels about being stabbed without requiring your input.

Centaur cavalry would actually be kind of terrible because instead of having a horse on autopilot underneath you while you do things like shoot or swing or just judge the battlefield, it has to be YOU doing the running and jumping and not tripping and snapping an ankle and being near useless. If the horse you're riding gets shot that sucks but you get off and keep going. If the horse you're riding is your body then you don't get to get off and keep going when it gets shot.

>>55205774

Basic human history 101: War drives innovation.

>>55207706
They'd be more capable of some things but worse at others. horse cavalry works because you tell the horse to run and then it handles it for you while you focus on shooting a bow or holding your sword. Centaur cavalry would be terrible, it would be comparable to trying to shoot a bow while sprinting because if you are both the horse and the rider combined then you have to focus on both the shooting and the running.

You've gotta apply that logic to other jobs too. Centaurs would be better at jobs where a horse is doing the work and the human is just giving directions without doing anything themselves. But when horse and human have different jobs to do then it's actually a disadvantage to combine them.

In pre-combustion engine times, they would be masters of infrastructure and transportation (maybe even merchants). Strong centaurs could pull carts in construction or transportation. And being in key roles of information transportation and goods transport would make them extremely powerful in pre-combustion engine society.

But post-combustion engine they would lose all of that. The need for centaurs would drop drastically once engine transports got cheap enough. And transporting a humanoid is cheaper and you can move more. In first world countries centaurs would lose their place. The tight roads and stairs would make it impossible for them to live in major cities. They would probably still be masters of third world countries though (due to the need for cheap transport), and any centaurs in positions of power would probably actively sabotage the development of those countries to prolong their reign of power.

>>55209124
>Native Americans also lacked the culture
Oh, so you're retarded. No point in talking to you then.

>>55209124
So we agree that there's a lot more to societal/technological advances then war?

Good.

Also, you should go back to school. You're spewing nonsense everywhere.

>>55209215
>All cultures are equally effective in guiding people towards technological advancement
They aren't, keep your thread appropriate human head fitted blinders on.

>>55209268
>Culture isn't a product of environment
Go read a book you goof.

>>55209291
That still proves his point right anon.

>>55209259
I never said war was the only thing responsible for progress.

>>55209203
>stairs
I'm reminded that my great grandfather apparently taught a miniature pony to walk up and down stairs.

I suppose smaller centaurs would have a better chance in cities in a modern era.

>>55209331
Now you're just being a liar. You proposed that the only way that everyone would be equal across the board is if they were at constant war right here >>55208548

>>55209268
>All cultures are equally effective in guiding people towards technological advancement

Culture outside of a nations attitude towards change, trade, and education has little to do with technological advancement mate. Unless you're one of those people who believes that culture is at the root of everything.

>>55209620
>Culture outside of a nations attitude towards change, trade, and education
Those are literally the most important aspects of a culture... Even some of the most minor traditions are related to how cultures deal with those things (albeit indirectly).

>>55209666
>Those are literally the most important aspects of a culture
A lot of people would disagree with you. You say their culture has a different attitude towards what's important, whats subjective, and what's objective.

>>55209666
>Those are literally the most important aspects of a culture
I'd argue that's subjective. I'd also argue that the geological and geographic situation has a larger impact on a societies technological development than culture. If anything, culture is a product of the effects a discovery has on society.

>>55209578
Wrong anon. You're responding to >>55208747. War drives innovation. Hell even the other guy never said "War is the sole driver of societal and technological development." Hell nobody even brought up societal progress until you.

>>55204156
In greek myths weren't they totally barbaric peoples that could not interact with civilization in the slightest?

>>55209850
I'm responding to the retards implying that war is the primary driver of innovation. Try to follow the conversation next time.

I like it.

Also anime-only fag but I really don't know whether or not this show tries to make a "point" with all the subjects it touches upon.

>>55204156

Welfare kings and queens, or at best >>55205172

Tough who knows? I can see centaurs basically owning Russia/mongolia and whatnot for centuries, to the point that simply enough central asian steppes are centaur-sized in everything.


Up to the point that I can see well enought a cold war with centaur russkies.


>>55209891

There were the good centarus (Chiron, teacher to many heroes, who was a gentleman and a scholar and took an arrow to his knee before it was cool) and the bad centaurs who raped for giggles and basically were genocided.

In general the centaur figure is pretty much either the noblest motherfucker ever or a debauched drunken worse-than-an-animal type.

>it's oddly similar to the noble/savage native thing, really, tough we take that the greeks mostly implied them as figures of great instinctual values that either used them for or against their own intellect, resulting in this dichotomy

>>55205172

In greek myth they were more cuckold ranchers.

>>55206812
I've heard this is futa, and I really hope it's not. It looks like a cozy kind of lewd

I read the manga and I genuinely don't know if he supports or opposes the totalitarian regime depicted in the story. It seems like in the snake-girl's case her story shows the deep flaws in a collectivist society, and that part looks very intentional.

>>55210179
Sort of.

It does it within the context of the show, letting the viewer see how they keep the peace and the history of why that country does things it's way.

>>55204156

I dunno, best animu snek of the decade doesn't seem to mind. All in all the Antarticans seem pretty cool with their society...

Waiddaminute, they didn't have (many) horses in Africa, centaurs couldn't have been kangz 'n sheeeit.

I stand by the native americans, if anything.

Well, this is Mikoyan we're talking about, so chances are you heard right.

>I stand by the native americans, if anything.
Anon... horses are not native to the Americas.

>>55204156
Indian casinos.

Agriculture work and infrastructure stuff will always have demands for Centaur. We've made the work easier, but it still requires a ton of elbow grease to do.

Military base work too. Having a Centaur on an aircraft carrier that can do the hauling jobs would actually be a good idea. We have equipment, but few sailors would say no to a backup option.

>>55206996

At what point do you believe humans would _not_ try to fuck other sentient species? Hell, we're _already_ fucking any animal big enough.

It might not be socially acceptable, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't happen.

>>55204978
If we're talking steppe nomads, then 99% of the world is gonna be part horse

Z-ton is a Japanese national treasure, like Niku Drill

>>55212187
Horses were born and bred on North America. Then came humans who thought they were tender and juicy and tasted good with wild berries.

SOME, however, escaped to Siberia via the same ol' land bridge, and moved west from there. The ones who stayed behind, on the other hand, got eaten.

>>55204156
Dead. Only a fool would allow another sentient species coexisting with them.

>>55213840

I'm kind of curious what modern Korean and Japanese Centaurs would be like.

>>55214144
You'll just get 40K memes if you bother with him.

>>55210194
They'd probably have reservations in a modern society. Like what we do with native Americans.

Okay, let's be fair here, You can definitely do cute monstergirls and still have the setting stand up on its own merits without relying on the fap factor as a crutch.

>>55205538
They have a pretty good advantage before firearms so they should survive at least until then. After that it probably will depend on how good they could manoeuvrer politically - they'll need to be really good at forging alliances and getting the hell out from under the bus of dwarven gunlines.

You might want to check out an ancient RPG called "Lace & Steel". It's sort of an 18th century themed RPG with the concept of a world where not only are magic and nonhuman creatures an everyday fact of life, they've always been that way. And as it happens, centaurs make an equal part of the population as humans. They work in pretty much the exact same jobs. The interesting part is how things like architecture and city planning divulged from our own history in order to accommodate them throughout the years (since they always made 50% of the population, rather than suddenly appearing at some point). For example, cities are built a lot wider and flatter. Centaurs need wider streets, corridors and rooms so they can turn around, and can't climb down stairs.

>>55204156

Like that.

Without a bike, ya goof.

>You do realize that one of the bigger issues in farm work is that horses are kinda dumb, right?
Good thing we are talking the highly intelligent CENTAURS and not dumb old dumb horses here.

>>55204978
>Also I guess the Chinese probably carry quite a few horse like features themselves now.

>Chinese men are overrepresented in Western porn for their horse-cocks.

>>55207846
>We used to literally throw horses to their deaths against pikes
Horses were often far to smart for that bullshit.
Turnsout they have a thing called 'survival instinct' that tells them not to be pin-cushioned. Who knew?
Anyway, if you're the rider, you're getting as many pikes in your everywhere making it a stupid tactic anyway.

>>55214952
At least human are the same species, though even among different ethnicities of humans genocide is commom. Centaurs are just a abomination who are enemies by nature

>>55204156
There are still farmers, no?
