Homo Erectus Footprints Found To Be 1.5 Million Years Old
Washington (dbTechno) – Researchers have managed to find the oldest Homo erectus footprints in history in Northern Kenya, as they are reportedly 1.5 million years old.
The footprints were found near Ileret, Kenya, at a site that was on a small hill.
They found two sets of footprints, with one of them being a few meters deeper than the other.
The two sets of footprints were separated by volcanic ash, among other things.
The surrounding sediment was then dated and it was later found that these footprints were 1.5 million years old.
What this shows is that Homo erectus did walk in his time, something that has always been in question.
Researchers believe that there is evidence here that there was a heavy amount of pressure on the heel with the step.
This is key though to helping map out the evolution of modern humans.
These are not the oldest footprints belonging to humans, as those were found in Tanzania in 1978 and were said to be 3.7 million years old.

You evil-utionists are crazy! This is proof that radio-carbon dating is flawed. How could someone find human footprints that are millions of years old when the Bible clearly tells us that the first man, Adam, was made out of dust only 6000 years ago. Hello?!?
These are remarkable and exciting new anthropological finds at Ileret, Kenya. Yet, these 1.5 million year old footprints are the footprints of a pre-human hominin, Homo erectus — not our species Homo sapiens. What is particularly significant is that the 1.5 million year old footprints of this prior species are indicative of modern human foot anatomy. Homo erectus was evolved about 2 million years ago in Africa. Nariokotome boy (KNM-WT 1500), a “missing link” stumbled across in 1984 in Lake Turkana, Kenya by a team led by Richard Leakey and Alan Walker, is an example of Homo erectus or Homo ergaster also 1.5 million years ago. That child’s eye sockets were overshadowed by a brow ridge, a ridge of bone that gave the skull a glowering expression, and there was a low, receding forehead leading to a long and flat crown. The boy had a tall, thin muscular physique, suited for radiating heat from his body in equatorial Africa. Even millions of years before that, Australopithecenes also were walking on two feet, though their foot anatomy appears to be quite different from that of Homo erectus. It is not that people adapted to equatorial climates by becoming tall and slender, or that people adapted to cold climates by becoming short and stocky. Rather, the Force tailors peoples and species to their environments and conditions. See Creation: Towards a Theory of All Things by John Umana (amazon). When it came to feet, though, there was no need to ‘reinvent the wheel’ from the foot anatomy of Homo erectus. The feet you are walking around on today are essentially the same feet that erectus had 1.5 million years ago. Did we evolve from Homo erectus? No. But we did evolve from another species that was evolved from erectus. Biological evolution and common ancestry are real and proved by the convergence of the sciences. Darwin and Wallace were correct in positing that all species descend from prior species. The question is, what is the causative mechanism for the evolution of a new species from a prior species?
