>Human feet have a very distinctive shape, different from all other land animals. The combination of a long sole, five short forward-pointing toes without claws, and a hallux ("big toe") that is larger than the other toes, is unique. The feet of our closest relatives, the great apes, look more like a human hand with a thumb-like hallux that sticks out to the side. The Laetoli footprints, thought to have been made by Australopithecus, are quite similar to those of modern humans except that the heel is narrower and the sole lacks a proper arch. By contrast, the 4.4 million year old Ardipithecus ramidus from Ethiopia, the oldest hominin known from reasonably complete fossils, has an ape-like foot. The researchers who described Ardipithecus argued that it is a direct ancestor of later hominins, implying that a human-like foot had not yet evolved at that time.

>The new footprints, from Trachilos in western Crete, have an unmistakably human-like form. This is especially true of the toes. The big toe is similar to our own in shape, size and position; it is also associated with a distinct 'ball' on the sole, which is never present in apes. The sole of the foot is proportionately shorter than in the Laetoli prints, but it has the same general form. In short, the shape of the Trachilos prints indicates unambiguously that they belong to an early hominin, somewhat more primitive than the Laetoli trackmaker. They were made on a sandy seashore, possibly a small river delta, whereas the Laetoli tracks were made in volcanic ash.

TWO MILLION YEARS SEPARATE THE TRACHILOS AND LAETOLI TRACKS

>During the time when the Trachilos footprints were made, a period known as the late Miocene, the Sahara Desert did not exist; savannah-like environments extended from North Africa up around the eastern Mediterranean. Furthermore, Crete had not yet detached from the Greek mainland.

Why do people give a shit whether humans evolved in Africa or elsewhere? We're already here, it literally doesn't matter.

Wait what? How did they even get to Crete? It's a fucking island, right?

>we can't check the site where the first remains were found cause the owner of the land built a swimming pool

>may
So this means fucking nothing.

>first remains were found by Nazis
Suddenly this does feel iffy.

Given the general lack of old homos in Europe, maybe they headed towards Africa, if they were legit?
Or went extinct.

Why care about history at all then if you're going to take that view

>>3323937
It was still connected to the mainland back then.

JUST

>>3323958
I believe history is interesting because of the human dynamics in it and how it affects the present, which aren't really affected by the location of where early humans evolved.

>>3324483
Shut up. Where humans come from and how we evolved is incredibly interesting for all sorts of reasons and there is a lot to learn.
