A rather more detailed version of the story can be found at http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-26025763

Weird stuff huh - that's about 700,000 years before Homo Sapiens yet they are not suggesting Erectus?

Yet another predecessor of Homo heidelbergensis apparently - one for whom we have no fossil evidence as yet.

Here's a scholarly article on it if anyone's interested. http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Ado...0088329#s5 It basically says that it's the oldest known hominin (not modern human) footprint find outside of Africa. It says that the footprint sizes allowed them to estimate body dimensions which were consistent with the hominin Homo antecessor.

I'm starting to get skeptical about all these so-called "species" of humans.
Homo Erectus was around for 2 million years and much of the evolution into what we now are seems to have taken place with them. Declaring a new "species" gives naming rights to the finders and human ego is always a constant.

Oh WHATEVER! You atheists and your agenda!


What - Adam couldn't take a walk once in a while? Eve couldn't have gone out for year long sabbatical in Britain? Maybe Cain was exploring before he came home and bludgeoned Able.

It's perfectly explainable. You find a footprint in Britain and then lie about how old it is. Mystery explained. Praise Jesus. Amen!

Between footprints in Britain, camels in Israel, Ken Ham being told off by Pat Fucking Robertson and the UN finding perverts in the church it has been a very bad week for theists.

Clearly the devil planted the footprints to fool unbelievers.

Are there pictures? Bet they're cloven.
