Two Different Early Human Species Walked the Same Lake 1.5 Million Years Ago
About 1.5 million years ago, two different species of early man likely came within hours of passing each other on the shores of what is now known as Lake Turkana in Kenya. Two sets of footprints tracing each hominin's path represent the first geological record of such an example,
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.
Ancient footprints show two different human ancestors coexisted at the same spot 1.5M years ago
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 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.
Two ancient human species walked the same path together 1.5 million years ago
Two species of ancient humans walked beside each other 1.5 million years ago, fossil footprints have revealed.
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,
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,
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 where 2 species of early humans met 1.5 million years ago
Researchers say the footprints were left in the mud by two different species, perhaps within a matter of hours or days.
