1.5 million-year-old footprints reveal our Homo erectus ancestors lived with a 2nd proto-human species
A set of footprints found at the site of Koobi Fora in Kenya reveals that our ancestor Homo erectus coexisted with a now-extinct bipedal hominin, Paranthropus boisei, 1.5 million years ago.
Discovery of fossilized footprints reveals the moment two ancient human species crossed paths
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.
Footprints show two species of ancient human relatives shared the same ground at the same time
Ancient footprints discovered in Kenya belong to two different species of human relatives who walked on the same ground at the same time 1.5 million years ago, a study found.
Muddy footprints suggest 2 species of early humans were neighbors in Kenya 1.5 million years ago
Muddy footprints left on a Kenyan lakeside suggest two of our early human ancestors were neighbors some 1.5 million years ago.
Fossil footprints in Kenya show two ancient human species coexisted
About 1.5 million years ago, individuals of two different species in the human evolutionary lineage trudged on a muddy lakeshore in northern Kenya, leaving behind intersecting trackways alongside the footprints of antelopes,
These two ancient human relatives crossed paths 1.5 million years ago
Remarkably preserved footprints of Homo erectus and Paranthropus boisei offer direct evidence that extinct hominin species coexisted.
Discovery of 1.5 million-year-old footprints shows two different human ancestors lived alongside each other
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.
Remarkable Fossil Footprints Show Two Hominin Species Coexisting 1.5 Million Years Ago
A 1.5-million-year-old lakebed from Kenya shows two ancient human relatives cohabitating an environment, shaking up our ancestors' story.
Fossil Footprints Suggest Two Early Human Species Crossed Paths within Hours
Two sets of fossilized footprints from early human species were made within a few hours of each other about 1.5 million years ago, researchers suggest
Fossilized footprints reveal 2 extinct hominin species living side by side 1.5 million years ago
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 instants in the lives of many different extinct organisms,
Crossing evolutionary paths: New research finds different hominin species coexisted
In fact, the footprints indicate these two species were walking along the lakeshore within hours or days of each other, according to a study published this week in Science that Feibel co-authored. “You can never tie down where bones come from [because] they could be transported or carried off by carnivores or scavengers,
