Heck’s reasoning went like this: an animal inherits 50% of its genes from each parent and even an extinct animal’s genes remain in the living gene pool so if he concentrated the genes by breeding together animals that most resembled an extinct one in time he would arrive at their purebred ancestor. The war gave him the excuse to loot east European zoos and wilds for the best specimens. When Germany invaded Poland Heck scouted the farms for mares preserving the most tarpan traits to mate them with several wild strains including Shetlands Arabians and Przywalskis hoping to breed back to the ideal animal the fierce nearly unridable horses painted in ochre on Cro-Magnon caves. Heck assumed it wouldn’t take many generations of back-breeding—maybe only six or eight—because as recently as the 1700s tarpans still roamed the forests of northeastern Poland. During the Ice Ages when glaciers blanketed northern Europe and a wind-ripped tundra stretched down to the Mediterranean countryside thick forests and fertile meadows gave refuge to great herds of tarpans that roamed the central European lowlands browsed the east European steppes and galloped across Asia and the Americas.

All three teams finished equal on points after each won and lost one game. But Israel’s superior basket differential secured the team first position.

Israel faces the Czechs in its first game of the tournament on Monday and will play Latvia and Turkey on Tuesday and Wednesday respectively. Poland would have advanced with a win but will now miss playing in the final round of the tournament for the first time since 1997. Slovakia were ahead throughout the game and led 64-48 in the fourth period. However Poland cut the deficit to two points with 29 seconds remaining. Agnieszka Bibrzycka missed with an attempt from behind the arc with three seconds remaining that would have sent Poland through. “We promised we would do all we can to reach the championships and we proved we deserve to be there” Israel coach Eli Rabi said.
