[Unknowing]

The scientists are not speculating as to what “kind” of human made the prints. We can probably say that we “know” they were not Potoharmans footprints. It seems like the scientists are suggesting that the prints are those of homo sapiens from a million years ago.

Waiting for more evidence is right.

It seems like the scientists are suggesting that the prints are those of homo sapiens from a million years ago.

If true that is very big news and pushes back homo sapien existence about 850,000 years.

I agree with you, the article is unclear whether this represents a proto homined or a true homo sapien. And frankly without DNA or significant fossils, I don't know how they can be highly confident based merely on footprint evidence.

But these ancient humans were Muslims!

All humans are born Muslim, until they are misled!

You must accept that, or we will kill you!

It was one of those monkey humans.

Perhaps the foot prints are from a yeti? Or rock ape?

[Christopher Lincoln]

The word "human" does not necessarily refer to Homo sapiens alone.
