The Laetoli Print Laetoli, Tanzania 3.6 Million years ago

Dr. Mary Leakey and her husband discovered about 70 prints in fossilized mud in 1976.

It has been determined that the footprints were made by "Australopithecus afarensis" and is the oldest print of a hominid that walked upright.

According to some evolutionary scientists modern humans could have made the tracks as there is nothing in the print to suggest it is anything but human. One archeologist, Fiona Marshal stated, "They look just like the prints of one of us or one of our children. Absolutely human, but when you think they're 3.6 million years old, I think it gives you a chill." . R. H. Tuttle reported in his book (Kinesiological inferences and evolutionary implications from Laetoli bipedal trails G-1, G-2/ 3 and A', Leakey and Hams, Ref. 1, Chapter 13.3, pp. 503 523), "If the prints were produced by a small species of Australopithecus (southern ape) then we must conclude that it had virtually human feet which were used in a manner indistinguishable from those of slowly walking humans. The feet that produced the G trails are in no discernible features transitional between the feet of apes and those of Homo sapiens. They are like small barefoot Homo sapiens".

There is nothing in the print to prove that it is nothing other than the print of a modern man just as some evolutionary scientists have admited.

The identification of the prints as the hominid Australopithecus Afarensis is solely based on the evolutionary timetable and not on any evidence found which may suggest it is not human.

The species Australopithecus, (The skelatal remains of "Lucy" has been identified as Australopithecus by scientists) has previously been documented as having an opposable big toe. In fact Australopithecus is, according to evolutionists, a chimpanzee that walked more upright than normal chimpanzees. Yet, the tracks found in Laetoli have no opposable big toe but are still classified as Australopithecus, probably on the date of the tracks alone.
