A new, “mind-blowing” discovery reveals evidence that Homo erectus and Paranthropus boisei stepped at the same site within days—or hours—of each other

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.

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

Footprints from 1.5mil years ago made by two different species of human ancestors were made within hours on the same spot—a fossil first.

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,

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

Astronomers have discovered a group of dwarf galaxies with distinct features that challenge predictions made by the prevailing cold dark matter (CDM) model. Two species of ancient humans walked beside each other 1.5 million years ago, fossil footprints have revealed.

The research included professors Kevin Hatala from Chatham U. in Pittsburgh and Craig Feibel of Rutgers and showed two human species might have competed or cooperated.

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.
