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 fossilized footprints reveals the moment two ancient human species crossed paths
Two species of ancient human relatives crossed paths 1.5 million years ago. Fossilized footprints in Kenya captured the moment, according to a new study.
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.
