Abstract

The article focuses on a footprint trail discovered by a team of paleoanthropologists led by Mary Leakey near the Tanzanian village of Laetoli in 1976. The footprint trail is believed to be made by two hominids, most likely to be Australopithecus afarensis. The prints showed that one of the hominids was larger than the other.
