Footprints preserved on the shore of Lake Turkana in Kenya seem to be from two ancient
human species, showing they lived there at the same time about 1.5 million
years ago.
Evolutionist believe
that ancient man did not come from a
single species but was we came from ape like creatures and that different species
of humans walked side by side.
Preserved footprints in Kenya appear to record two
different species of ancient humans walking over the same muddy lakeshore,
probably within days of each other. It is one of the most dramatic
demonstrations ever found that the world was once home to multiple hominin
species living side by side.
“It’s really
exceptional that we find this evidence for two different species walking across
that surface,” says Kevin Hatala at Chatham University in Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania.
The
footprints were found in 2021 in Koobi Fora, Kenya, near the eastern
shore of Lake Turkana. They
were first spotted by team member Richard Loki at the Turkana Basin Institute, says Hatala: “It
was a team of Kenyans who were working there originally.”
Preserved in a
dried-out layer of sand and silt, the team found a trackway consisting of 12
footprints, evidently left by one individual walking in a straight line. There
were also three isolated prints near the main group, seemingly made by three
different individuals. The lack of signs of mud cracking or overprinting of
tracks with others indicate that the prints were all made at about the same
time. “These sites probably capture a window of time anywhere from minutes to a
few days or so,” says Hatala.
This study gives
the Darwinian version of things, separed from the book of Genesis.
