Reply to Superhighway of ancient human and animal footprints in England provides an 'amazing snapshot of the past' by shyleader

Thinking about their ways of life is so fascinating. These types of discoveries can really make your imagination run wild. What I wouldn't give for an in-person glimpse of humans at this time. I feel we could find common ground to relate to each other, like the relief of a good pee in the bush or something like that

Shows the difference in scale between the US and the UK:-

>One nearby archaeological site ... in Norfolk, located about 250 miles (400 km) to the southeast of Formby

They're both coastal features, on the opposite sides of the country... In the UK, it would never be called nearby 😁

Still though, it is amazing that we can see interactions between humans and animals from thousands of years ago, we can see their toeprints.
