They’re are looking for the sixth toe to indicate our devolution as a species.
There is absolutely no way to know something like that, but they knew the stupid journalists would eat it up.
Somewhere on Page 99 of the report is a tiny caveat "These footprints are at least 12 hours old". lol.
Maybe the kid was being chased by that T-Rex... heh
Great! See, it can be done!! If those archaeologists didn’t do that they are derelict!
The archeaologist thinks they were likely carrying flowers because it was near Great Goddess Day aka Mother’s Day.
*facepalm*
All of these assumptions are totally invalid in any scientific way.
Ya think....
