Fossil footprints place two early human species in the same area at the same time
The discovery offers new insight into human evolution, particularly between the two early human species, known as hominins — a term for a subdivision of hominids. Hominins are all organisms within the human lineage once they split from the ancestors of the great apes, around six to seven million years ago.
