Research results on the footprints were announced on 7 February 2014, identifying them as the oldest known hominid footprints outside Africa. [1] [2] [3] Before the Happisburgh discovery, the oldest known footprints in Europe were the Ciampate del Diavolo tracks found at the Roccamonfina volcano in Italy, dated to around 350,000 years ago.

Eve's footprint is the popular name for a set of fossilised footprints discovered on the shore of Langebaan Lagoon, South Africa in 1995. They are thought to be those of a female human and have been dated to approximately 117,000 years ago. This makes them the oldest known footprints of an anatomically modern human.
The oldest known human skeletal remains outside of Africa are from Dmanisi, Georgia (Dmanisi skull 4), and are dated to 1.8 Ma. These remains are classified as Homo erectus georgicus . Later waves of expansion are proposed around 1.4 Ma (early Acheulean industries), associated with Homo antecessor and 0.8 Ma ( cleaver-producing Acheulean groups ...
Human habitation in the Caucasus goes back to the remotest antiquity. The hominin remains discovered in 1991 by David Lordkipanidze at Dmanisi, Kvemo Kartli (1.8 million years old) are the oldest found outside Africa. [10] Neanderthal remains have been found at Ortvale K’lde (1973) and elsewhere in the Caucasus (36,000–50,000 years old).
A uniquely preserved prehistoric mudhole could hold the oldest-ever human footprints on the Arabian Peninsula, scientists say. The seven footprints, found amidst a clutter of hundreds of ...
Ancient footprints of Acahualinca – late Holocene human footprints found near the shore of Lake Managua in Nicaragua, dating to approximately 2,120 years ago. Eve's footprint – footprints of a single female found at Langebaan , South Africa in 1995, dating to approximately 117,000 years ago.
One skull fossil, given the name Apidima 1, [4] shows a mixture of modern human and primitive features [7] and has been dated to be more than 210,000 years old, older than a Neanderthal skull ("Apidima 2") found at the cave, [7] which per some interpretations makes Apidima 1 the oldest proof of Homo sapiens living outside Africa, [8] [9] the ...
According to the study, the Trachilos footprints may represent an early hominin or primate species that may have evolved hominin-like feet independently, outside of Africa. [1] It also suggests the possibility of convergent evolution, wherein unrelated species adapt similar traits and characteristics to each other.
