Probably before the mammal/reptile split; this means pegasi are more closely related to dragons than to girallons. Fur and feathers etc are simply evolutionary convergence.Cultures would be different, but as the creatures in question here are still two-armed, not that different. They have greater maneuverability and, presumably, endurance (horses, wolves, whatever, they can run for days); this indicates that their culture will be nomadic, or revolve around long distances between key locations such as cities, forts or mines.This wanderlust could explain why slaves are necessary: they need someone who can stand sitting in one place for a while.Buildings will be bigger. No two ways about it. You need more room if you're four times the size of a human (which they are). Not taller, necessarily, just wider in every regard. Which may require plenty of internal supports in a room, just to keep the ceiling up; or the ceiling is way higher via buttresses or whatever.Horses are used to produce antivenin in our world because of their immune systems, so perhaps the centaurs are more comfortable around serpents. Or naga and yuan-ti. It's not what you'd think of, but it is logical.</blockquote>
