The oldest human footprints ever found outside Africa, dated at between 850,000 and 950,000 years old, have been discovered on the storm-lashed beach at Happisburgh in Norfolk, one of the fastest eroding stretches of the British coast. Within a fortnight the sea tides that exposed the prints last May destroyed them, leaving only casts and 3D images made through photogrammetry by stitching together hundreds of photographs as evidence that a little group from a long-extinct early human species had passed that way.
They walked through a startlingly different landscape from todays, along the estuary of what may have been the original course of the Thames, through a river valley grazed by mammoths, hippos and rhinoceros. The pattern of the prints suggests at least five individuals heading southward, pausing and pottering about to gather plants or shellfish along the bank. They included several children. The best preserved prints, clearly showing heel, arch and four toes one may not have left a clear impression is of a man with a foot equivalent to a modern size 8 shoe, suggesting an individual about 5ft 7ins (1.7 metres ) tall.

Yeah.
Ken Ham says they were around the same time as ancient man.
He must be a Flintstones fan.
> I have long questioned the out of Africa idea. For example, which people have slanted eyes? And why would people develope slanted eyes?
Alien intervention / cross-breeding. Why else do you think they have 4 year olds that can play complete symphonies better than a 40 year music and can outperform just about every other race in the math and science. Their ancestors probbly flew spacecraft here hundreds of thousands of years ago.../s

An’ da white man stole all of it! Yo!
(Ahem) We are Neanderthals.
“I question that modern man came out of Africa.”
That’s racist.
Next you’ll be claiming that the pyramids were not built by a race of black people with wings who could fly.
