Humans trod the landscape of North America thousands of years earlier than previously thought, according to new research that confirms the antiquity of fossilized footprints at White Sands National Park in New Mexico using two further dating approaches.
Every year they seem to push that number further and further back.
It’d be interesting to see some of the tools they brought with them
Given that the only record we have of them are some footprints in the middle of a desert, I think finding their tools is going to be a little more challenging.
More than anything, though, I think this demonstrates just how non-permanent human civilisation is.
Every year they seem to push that number further and further back.
This result is just confirming the same dating for the same fossils published two years ago, using different methods.
Man, shoes really fucked our feet up. Look how long their toes were!!
Wearing the wrong length/width/shape shoe will indeed mess up your feet. Wearing the correct size/shape shoe for your individual feet will not give such issues. Additionally different shoes do different things so wearing the best one for the activity being done will yield the best results.
Changing to different shoes every day is also really important to dry out sweat and avoid repetitive injuries caused by wearing the same shoe such as corns, callouses, deformations, stress fractures, etc.
That said, cheap material and lack of local shoemakers, makes finding the good/best fit incredibly difficult if not impossible. Couple with feet size shifting throughout the day (swelling) and the changes over a lifetime, really makes everything more complicated. And that’s not even acknowledging prices or fashions.
If one decides to go barefoot, know that the impact can increase loss of the fatpad on the bottom of the foot over time.
I noticed that too. Toes actually splayed out like they’re supposed to be!
Are you sure it’s not because they were walking through mud? I mean that’s why the footprints are preserved.

Jesus is from the other side of the world. Don’t add that crap onto my people.
It’s a joke, and a good one
If he existed at all and isn’t just the amalgamation of stories about ancient first century Jewish prophets.
Asking if Jesus existed as the gospels claim is like asking if Robin of Loxley had merry men or if George Washington chopped down a cherry tree and made dentures out of it.
Eventually myths become added to the historical man/men until only the myths remain.
