Roughly 1.5 million years ago, members of two different species of early humans walked barefoot across a muddy lakeshore in what is now Kenya. Their footprints, made within hours or days of each other,

Scientists discovered 1.5-million-year-old footprints in Kenya, revealing two hominin species coexisted and interacted.

Human footprints stir the imagination. They invite you to follow, to guess what someone was doing and where they were going. Fossilized footprints preserved in rock do the same—they record instances in the lives of many different extinct organisms,

The "huge" discovery near the shore of Lake Turkana in Kenya proves the theory that some ancient ancestors were neighbors The post Ancient footprints tell new story about two species of human ancestors appeared first on Talker.

Muddy footprints found beside Lake Turkana, Kenya reveal two ancient hominin species were once neighbors 1.5 million years ago.

An international team of researchers said Thursday that they had found two sets of hominin footprints that were made about the same time on an ancient lake’s shore in present-day Kenya. It is, they said, a “fossil first” that offers proof different hominin species lived at the same time and space.

Two species of ancient humans walked beside each other 1.5 million years ago, fossil footprints have revealed.

First-ever dual-hominid-species footprints discovered with a combination of fame and fortuities.

Muddy footprints left on a Kenyan lakeside suggest two of our early human ancestors were neighbors some 1.5 million years ago.

Study provides first evidence of different bipedalism styles on same footprint surface, attributed to both species.
