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 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.
1.5-million-year-old footprints capture two ancient human species sharing a home
The researchers believe the footprints were made within hours of each other on the shores of an ancient lake in present-day Kenya.
1.5-Million-Year-Old Footprints Reveal 2 Species Of Early Human Ancestors Were Neighbors In Kenya
Scientists discovered fossilized footprints along Lake Turkana, Kenya, revealing that early human ancestors Homo erectus and Paranthropus boisei coexisted around 1.5 million years ago. The distinct footprints show different walking styles,
'1.5-million-year-old mystery': Footprints reveal our ancestors shared space with another species. Who were they?
Lake Turkana reveal that Homo erectus and Paranthropus boisei coexisted, offering insights into ancient interactions, behaviors, and evolutionary dynamics.
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.
Ancient footprints show how early human species lived side by side
Footprints preserved on the shore of Lake Turkana in Kenya seem to be from two ancient human species, showing they lived there at the same time about 1.5 million years ago
A fossil first: Scientists find 1.5-million-year-old footprints of two different species of human ancestors at same spot
More than a million years ago, on a hot savanna teeming with wildlife near the shore of what would someday become Lake Turkana in Kenya, two completely different species of hominins may have passed each other as they scavenged for food.
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 1.5 million-year-old footprints shows two different human ancestors lived alongside each other
A new discovery of fossils dating back 1.5 million years is giving scientists fresh insight into the behaviors of human ancestors known as hominins. 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.
Fossilized footprints reveal two extinct hominin species living side by side 1.5 million years ago
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,
