Two species of ancient human relatives crossed paths 1.5 million years ago. Fossilized footprints in Kenya captured the moment, according to a new study.
The Happisburgh footprints were a set of fossilized hominid footprints that date to the end of the Early Pleistocene, around 950–850,000 years ago. They were discovered in May 2013 in a newly uncovered sediment layer of the Cromer Forest Bed on a beach at Happisburgh in Norfolk , England, and carefully photographed in 3D before being ...
This list of fossil sites is a worldwide list of localities known well for the presence of fossils.Some entries in this list are notable for a single, unique find, while others are notable for the large number of fossils found there.
The footprints, the researchers said, mark the first example of two sets of hominin footprints made at about the same time on the shore of what is now the saline Lake Turkana.
Fossil footprints show humans in North America more than 21,000 years ago, the earliest firm evidence for humans in the Americas and show people must have arrived here before the last Ice Age.
