Undated handout photo issued by the British Museum Friday Feb. 7, 2014 of some of the human footprints, thought to be more than 800,000 years old, found in silt on the beach at Happisburgh on the Norfolk coast of England, with a camera lens …
They were a British family on a day out—almost a million years ago.
Archaeologists announced Friday that they have discovered human footprints in England that are between 800,000 and 1 million years old—the most ancient found outside Africa, and the earliest evidence of human life in northern Europe.
A team from the British Museum, London's Natural History Museum and Queen Mary college at the University of London uncovered imprints from up to five individuals in ancient estuary mud at Happisburgh on the country's eastern coast.

I guess those feet in ancient time DID walk upon England’s mountains green!
Just one of countless “Bigfoot” prints on the web
Don’t tell the creationists up thread!
Probably still in the queue to see the
NHS doctor for his appendicitis attack.
From the article:
“The footprints themselves, which survived for almost 1 million years, won’t be there. Two weeks after they were uncovered, North Sea tides had washed them away.”
So ... we’re supposed to believe these footprints are a million years old, and yet they are so fragile that they fall apart two weeks after they’re discovered?
Right.
Right.
The scientists have no vested interest in funding and results getting older and older...I’m sure the “carbon dating” wasn’t fudged just like the infamous emails negating the global warming.
Looks like Mooschelle’s footprint to me.
Supposedly, “Mitochondrial Eve” lived 209,000 years ago, so they’re going to have to get together and work out their stories.
Well aliens anyway.
nah - they were barefoot aliens on a recon mission who took some liesure time to cool their footsies in the mud - then they left in their spacecraft, which is why no million year old human bones have ever been found /sarc
And it said Keds on it.
Heh heh heh...
;’)
To the heck with the Scientific Method. Falsification? They do not need to try to falsify the claim. Its the shock-value of the claim that gets the grant money...
There’s one facing the lens cap.
Apparently the 800,000 year old human was wearing Keds.
Pretty dumb of them not to lift the find and transport it to safety. People who uncover finds and leave them to destruction shouldn’t be allowed to dig.
Because the date was stamped on the shoe?
Good catch, but they’ve already cashed the check.
