The Happisburgh footprints were a set of fossilized hominid footprints that date to the end of the Early Pleistocene, around 850–950,000 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 ...
Ileret – footprints of Homo erectus found at Ileret, Northern Kenya, dating to approximately 1.5 million years ago. List of fossil sites (with link directory) List of hominina (hominid) fossils (with images) Trachilos footprints on Crete, which might be the earliest hominin footprints in the world
The Trachilos footprints are possibly tetrapod footprints which show hominin-like characteristics from the late Miocene on the western Crete, close to the village of Trachilos, west of Kissamos, in the Chania Prefecture. [1] Researchers describe the tracks as representing at least one apparent bipedal [1] hominin or an unknown primate.
Researchers say the discovery proves the theory that some ancient human ancestors were neighbors

Fossilized footprints of Homo erectus were found in Ileret, Kenya.Science reported that there were multiple trails of footprints found at the Ileret site: “two trails of two prints each, one of seven prints and a number of isolated prints.” [4] These footprints reveal that these early hominins most likely traveled in groups—evidence which researchers see as a sign of social behavior.

The Laetoli trackway is famous for the hominin footprints preserved in volcanic ash. After the footprints were made in powdery ash, soft rain cemented the ash layer into tuff, preserving the prints. [6] The hominid prints were produced by three individuals, one walking in the footprints of the other, making the original tracks difficult to ...
The earliest presence of Homo (or indeed any hominin) outside of Africa dates to close to 2 million years ago. A 2018 study claims hominin presence at Shangchen, central China, as early as 2.12 Ma based on magnetostratigraphic dating of the lowest layer containing stone artefacts. [2]
