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.

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 specimen is a female, 1.20-1.30 meters tall, whose lower limbs are longer than its upper limbs. [13] Its hips are modern and capable of transmitting great force from its legs, and its hands are very large. Its body suggests a bipedal gait and, at the same time, that it had a great ability to climb trees.

The find includes many previously unknown skeletal elements from the Pliocene hominin record, including a hyoid bone that has a typical African ape [ hominid ] morphology.
