New evidence of human population living on the west coast of Canada at the end of last ice age. Human footprints found off Canada's Pacific coast may be 13,000 years old, according to a new study. The finding adds to the growing body of evidence supporting the hypothesis that humans used a coastal route to move from Asia to North America during the last ice age.

    I can tell just by the picture that it isn’t a day over 9473 years old!. What clown scientist states its 13k?I want the job of looking for footprints! These scientists need to subscribe to “creation” magazine out of Australia.

    And none of them asked directions.
Thus we have the present day, the end.

    looks like a big foot to me?
if those checkerboard squares are 1”, then the foot is about 8”-9” wide & maybe twice that long.

    How do they know it wasn’t a juvenile sasquatch?

    Probably cm, 8-9 cm wide is ≈3-1/2" wide by ≈7" long. This could be a child's footprint.

    A monkey’s big toe is more opposable for griping branches while climbing.
Human toes point forward to give a better spring to the step when walking on flat ground.

    This is 90 minutes, and while I'm all aboard (as it were) with the idea of ancient navigation, humans have been in the Americas for a really long time.

    Since the total number of tiles or squares in the longitudinal direction is an even ten, the scale is most likely to be metric.

    We must not jump to conclusions. These footprints may appear prehistoric but be of a modern creature. 
For example...

    I am of the train of thought that the world was flooded by God when Noah and company floated around. Not joking either.

    “The researchers uncovered 29 human footprints of at least three different sizes in these sediments, which radiocarbon dating estimated to be around 13,000 years old. Measurements and digital photographic analyses revealed that the footprints probably belonged to two adults and a child, all barefoot. “
I’m a creationist. Without doubt.
To me this is proof of mankind heeding the Lords command to “Go forth and multiply”.
I find it all very interesting.

What does that have to do with these footprints, specifically?

    “and while I’m all aboard (as it were) with the idea of ancient navigation, humans have been in the Americas for a really long time.”
Have been here and been coming here for a long time.
I read an article, may have been one of your postings, that the donut shaped stones found in the waters off the west coast were anchors from Chinese (?) ships that regularly came to north America.
