  A discovery in northern Kenya hints that two extinct species that were our ancient relatives shared the same habitat and possibly interacted.

The article from The New York Times, published on November 28, 2024, discusses the discovery of ancient human footprints in Kenya, dating back approximately 1.5 million years. These footprints, found in the region of Ileret, provide significant insights into the locomotion and behavior of early hominins. Researchers suggest that these footprints indicate that early humans were capable of walking upright with a gait similar to modern humans, potentially offering clues about their social structure and environmental interactions. The findings challenge previous assumptions about the development of bipedalism and suggest that these early humans might have had more complex social behaviors than previously thought. The article also touches on the preservation conditions that allowed these footprints to survive, highlighting the unique geological features of the area.
