Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story:

• Fossilized footprints in Saudi Arabia show human traffic on the cusp of a subsequent ice age.
• Like carbon dating, scientists use isotopes and context clues to calculate the approximate age of fossils.
• These human prints were surrounded by animals but not hunted animals, indicating humans were just thirsty.

 

All of this because they expected that the footprints would have washed away, but they didn't? Did they learn anything new? At least we know that Homo sapiens weren't wearing shoes yet.
