I wondered the same thing. Great minds and all that.

I told them to wipe their feet.

Those are not Homo sapiens foot prints.

They are an unnamed pygmy species of the genus Bigfootus.

Ancient Mexican footprints doing what ancient American footprints won't do.

I bet if the rock was hot enough that he left footprints we will find the guy soaking his feet in the Rio Bravo.

"You're really only left with two possibilities," Renne said. "One is that they are really old hominids - shockingly old - or they're not footprints."

...or maybe a third possibility - that there was a flaw or error in the testing. Scientists must always include that possibility.

"They fell while they were still hot, which raises the question of the validity of the footprints. If they were hot, why would anybody be walking on them?"

To get away from the volcano that was spewing the hot ash. Duh!

I've read some really interesting stuff recently on the theory that the speed of light has been slowing down slightly since the beginning of the universe. If the universe is collapsing rather than expanding, it would explain why our aging tests always give these huge numbers. Something seems a little fishy to me. I think our cosmology is a little out of whack. It would also explain the red shift as light would have to "work" harder to push its way through more viscous collapsing space. Like a runner moving in a pool of gelatin. Who knows how old these footprints are. Most of our science is based upon a constant light speed.

snip

In all, the British team claims to have found 250 footprints - mostly human, but also dog, cat and cloven-hoofed animal prints - in a layer of volcanic ash deposited in a former lake bed now exposed near a reservoir outside Puebla.

Not hot, but deposited in the water. I'd reckon they'd be walking 'cause they didn't have a car....

I love the way the evidence is dismissed because it does not fit the theoretical age bracket for hominids in the Western Hemisphere. How come horses could originate here and migrate elsewhere, but not humans?

As a licensed cosmologist I take umbrage at the flippant remarks in this post.
My services have included some of the best minds in the universe including the Yeti, Mooseman, Al Sharpton among others. They all know a good cosmologist when they see one!

Time for a new calibration curve. Until then let me look at the pictures and I will decide for myself.

Re: comments 2, 3, and 8. I just had to check before I said anything. Sure enough, beaten to the punch. I just knew FR was a place I belonged!
