Fossil footprints challenge established theories of human evolution

These Hominins footprints are dated at 5.7 million years old. This places them at the time our ancestors in Africa still have ape feet. Science is always finding new stuff out everyday, unlike religion that is static.

I worked in the railway. One

I worked in the railway. One day we were up in the mountain and we stop at the cutting waiting for signal to clear, and he said there is a fish fossil on the cutting about 100 meters away. So when we passed through it he brake the train and he pointed it out "Right there boy that is a fish". Never mind that we were almost 1 km above sea level and 80 km from the nearest ocean, if he saw it as a fish than it was a fish.

The same guy that I asked as how the cutting along the track was cut through? he said in 1800's it was with picks and chisels and hammers.

It will be interesting to see

It will be interesting to see if they belong to an late Orrorin tugenensis or early Ardipithecus...

It will be interesting indeed. What if it is it's own species of homo.
