Archaeologists uncover 115,000-year-old footprints where they shouldn’t be | History | News
Archaeologists revealed the oldest human footprint in the Middle East. Carefully preserved footprints in a prehistoric mud hole show human migration before the glacial age.
Seven footprints, which are believed to be about 115,000 years old, were among the various prehistoric animals. This special Lakebed in North Saudi Arabia has hosted many such fossils and ancient works since scientists found scientists in the Nefud Desert in 2017. This Lakebed, called Arabic “Trace”, was a high traffic area 100,000 years ago. Today, the lake, which formed Alathar, was probably the area where large animals gathered to relax or drink while migrating due to changing air and climatic conditions. Scientists found that the footprints that are left behind by populations in the old mud were often helping to watch their dates.
In their articles, scientists said: “A experimental work of modern human footprints in mud apartments found that fine details have been lost in two days and that the pressures were made unrecognizable within the four, and that similar observations were made for other non -hominous mammal slopes.”
In the Burgess Shale incident, the oldest organisms were dying instantly because they fell into a sludge shift. An armored dinosaur was found great as it was discovered on the soles of mud covered cold ocean.
Scientists, Homo Sapiens, although the only perpendicular primates of the time, the pressures belong to people, he said.
The article reads: “Seven Hominin footprint was safely defined and fossil and archaeological evidence was given to the spread of H. Sapiens to Levant and Arabia. [the era 130,000 to 80,000 years ago] And we argue that H. Sapiens was responsible for the pieces in Alathar, the absence of Homo Neanderthansis from Levant at the time. “
“In addition, the size of Alathar footprints is more consistent with H. Sapiens earlier than H. Neanderthansis.”
Scientists could not find other tools or knives showing hunting in the animal bones in the region. This means that people can be there to drink water.
“The lack of archaeological evidence shows that Lake Alathar is briefly visited by people.” He said. “These findings show that the use of the temporary lake coast by people at a dry period of the last glaciers depends primarily on the need for drinkable water.”
These possible people could have been the last people who migrated throughout a mild climate before they were destroyed by the ice age, so they did not follow a different group.
