A Mystery Footprint. Then 'they' came upon a mystery footprint. The time in history was between 136,000 and 73,ooo years ago. The print of the walker left rounded anterior ends With crisp margins and indentations, Where possible strap attachments met the sole. The dimensions were quite consistent With those of hominin tracks; Probably made by juveniles or small adults. The prints were most likely from sandals-- A life saver from foot lacerations. However, so far, no actual shoe remnants Remain from the Middle Paleolithic, Which a young, future investigator May finally come up with, and the clinching evidence?
