I think you can animals in the arrangement of the stars at night if you look long enough. I doubt there is anything to this.

[Coyoteman]

I have my doubts on this one too.

[AntiGuv]

FWIW, if one's footprints are on volcanic ash, there's probably a good reason to be running..

Quick, someone call Helen and ask if she remembers walking across there.

"It was a sensational discovery - human footprints said to be 40,000 years old, preserved by volcanic ash pointed north under a fence near El Paso, Texas.

[ElkGroveDan]

Were they heading North?

[Little Bill]

Somewhere Leakey is laughing his ass off. I read a nut book years ago that posited that the world was settled from North America.

[MrBambaLaMamba]

I claim these footprints to be of my ancestors and demand reparations from all who have since invaded our lands.

POSSIBLE MIGRATION ROUTES

Ah! The Good Old Days when the footprints went North to South!

[SunkenCiv]

Professor Mike Waters of Texas A&M University is sceptical. He thinks the marks are products of the quarrying process and subsequent erosion. There are certainly some marks at the site that are very obviously due to that and seem much fresher - pick marks and tracks from mechanical diggers.

Next up, we have a professor who claims that some dead guy from California faked the tracks using big rubber feet. ;') Will ping when I get home.

You've been at this a while. Here's an old style topic, related, you posted in 2001.

If there were prints of human feet, then the prints would have a consistent pattern of both feet since they would have been traveling through the same ash--unless you posit a tribe of one-legged hoppers that lived in the region 40,000 years ago.

Then we'd have to get into the intelligent design debate.

[Dustbunny]

That gave an age of 1.3 million years, far too old to be compatible with human footprints.

I am still trying to figure out where the get the absolutes on this statement.
