Footprints are interesting right? They always have something to tell us or always reveal something we have never known before. Well, here is another one. Scientists say that a uniquely preserved prehistoric mudhole could hold the oldest-ever human footprints on the Arabian Peninsula. With the footprints dating back all the wayto 112,000 years, we can say that during that time, a few humans wandered along the shore of an ancient lake in what is now the Nefud Desert in Saudi Arabia and left us their mark.
Why they were there is a question that will remain unanswered. They may have paused for a drink of fresh water or to track herds of elephants, wild asses, and camels that were trampling the mudflats. Within hours of passing through though, the humans' and animals' footprints dried out and eventually fossilized.Researchers say that at a glance, these marks don't seem particularly impressive, so much so that a team of scientists surveying the region almost passed them by in 2017.
But upon further examination, the team realized that the depressions were left by an array of ancient animals, and among them were traces of our own species, Homo sapiens.The footprints lie near another lake where the team recently uncovered a finger bone dating to some 90,000 years old that may also be H. sapiens.These ancient footsteps offer rare evidence of when and where early humans once inhabited the Arabian Peninsula.
