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 ...
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
A footprint hypothesized to have been created by a Homo erectus individual is seen in this photo. A new discovery of two sets of hominin footprints is giving scientists a better understanding of ...
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.
Laetoli footprints – a line of hominid footprints, discovered at Laetoli, Tanzania by Mary Leakey in 1976, dating to approximately 3.6 million years ago. List of fossil sites (with link directory) List of hominina (hominid) fossils (with images)
The chimpanzee–human divergence likely took place during around 10 to 7 million years ago. [1] The list of fossils begins with Graecopithecus, dated some 7.2 million years ago, which may or may not still be ancestral to both the human and the chimpanzee lineage.
The footprints were estimated to have been pressed into the mud between 21,000 and 23,000 years ago, based on dating of seeds from an aquatic plant preserved along with the tracks.
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 ...
