The numerous human footprints still preserved in some rock art caves in southern France were the starting point of the project. These tracks date back to the last Ice Age and originated around 17,000 years ago. In contrast to the rock art, they have so far only been sparsely studied and with purely morphometric, "surveying" approaches.
Eve's footprint is the popular name for a set of fossilised footprints discovered on the shore of Langebaan Lagoon, South Africa in 1995. They are thought to be those of a female human and have been dated to approximately 117,000 years ago. This makes them the oldest known footprints of an anatomically modern human.
More fossil footprints from White Sands National Park. The 61 footprints are located at the shore of a dried up ice age era lake, Lake Otero in the Tularosa Basin. [5] The prints were laid on the shores of the now-dry lake at a time when the climate in the region was less arid.

It has a variety of uses, some of which are: human-computer interaction, security and surveillance, video communication and compression , augmented reality , traffic control, medical imaging [ 1 ] and video editing .
One claim made by some proponents of human-dinosaur coexistence is that non-avian dinosaur footprints have been found together with human footprints, with one particular site of note being Paluxy River in Texas. The supposed human tracks in the rock have all been identified to consist of dinosaur tracks eroded to an elongated shape and ...
The discovery of these footprints settled the issue, proving that the Laetoli hominins were fully bipedal long before the evolution of the modern human brain, and were bipedal close to a million years before the earliest known stone tools were made. [11] The footprints were classified as possibly belonging to Australopithecus afarensis.
The footprints of the Buddha abound throughout Asia, dating from various periods. [30] Japanese author Motoji Niwa (丹羽基二, Niwa Motoji), who spent years tracking down the footprints in many Asian countries, estimates that he found more than 3,000 such footprints, among them about 300 in Japan and more than 1,000 in Sri Lanka.

A "trackway" is a set of footprints in soft earth left by a life-form; animal tracks are the footprints, hoofprints, or pawprints of an animal. Painted footprints from a child on a piece of paper. Footprints can be followed when tracking during a hunt or can provide evidence of activities.
