The Happisburgh footprints were a set of fossilized hominid footprints that date to the end of the Early Pleistocene, around 950–850,000 years ago. They were discovered in May 2013 in a newly uncovered sediment layer of the Cromer Forest Bed on a beach at Happisburgh in Norfolk , England, and carefully photographed in 3D before being ...

The Trachilos footprints are possibly tetrapod footprints which show hominin-like characteristics from the late Miocene on the western Crete, close to the village of Trachilos, west of Kissamos, in the Chania Prefecture. [1]
The footprints, the researchers said, mark the first example of two sets of hominin footprints made at about the same time on the shore of what is now the saline Lake Turkana. If the pair didn’t ...
The footprints are the first physical proof that different hominin species overlapped in exactly the same time and space, dodging predators and finding food in the ancient landscape, according to ...

The Laetoli trackway is famous for the hominin footprints preserved in volcanic ash. After the footprints were made in powdery ash, soft rain cemented the ash layer into tuff, preserving the prints. [6] The hominid prints were produced by three individuals, one walking in the footprints of the other, making the original tracks difficult to ...
The discovery of fossilized footprints made in what’s now New Mexico was a bombshell moment for archaeology, seemingly rewriting a chapter of the human story. New research is offering further ...
