1.43-Mln-Year-Old Footprints Found in Kenya Reveal More About Human Ancestors’ Size & Behavior: StudyThe Koobi Fora Formation in northern Kenya preserves fossils from two hominin genera: Homo and Paranthropus, the researchers revealed in a study."The ecological context of the tracks suggests that hominins were accessing resources in a deltaic lake margin habitat."The footprints found deliver valuable "data on the anatomy, body size, locomotion, behavior, and habitats of Early Pleistocene hominins," researchers emphasized."The large body sizes of the track-makers support the hypothesis that this hominin group included multiple adult males, offering rare direct evidence of social behavior."Subscribe to @sputnik_africa Sputnik Africa | X
