Edward James, patron of the surrealists, was so besotted with his wife, the dancer Tilly Losch, that when he saw the trail of wet footprints she left up the stairs after her bath at Monkton House, he had them woven into the carpet.

Is this "the first human-made textbook"?

Huge drawings of touchable animal tracks would be an ideal teaching tool for young hunters & trackers. These rock carvings in Namibia are hard to date, but the paper estimates they are at least 5000 to 7000 years old.

The authors of the paper sought out the assistance of local hunter and trackers to better identify the animals represented in the rock art. The range of species identified and the specificity of the depicted species was remarkable, showing the detail and depth of human knowledge of the natural world even thousands of years ago. (The trackers could tell the age and sex of many of the animals represented by the prints.)

Some of the carvings are in a narrow crevice, almost like it was a "test" where the student could move through the prints identifying them by touch. (that's just my guess for how they used it, the authors of the paper are more circumspect in their ideas about what this was for)

Some of the prints are from animals who no longer live in the region, possibly pushing the age of the site deeper into the past.

What enigmatic connection could there be between ancient petroglyphs and dinosaur tracks at Serrote do Letreiro, Brazil? This captivating site where history and paleontology collide, offers a glimpse into a forgotten era of human culture intertwined with prehistoric giants.

Researchers unraveled the intertwined stories of ancient glyph makers and dinosaurs on a thrilling expedition in a quest for answers. A thorough examination of both the fossilized dinosaur footprints and their petroglyph companions revealed that they were intentionally placed adjacent to the fossilized tracks in many instances. They were also carved in an exceedingly careful manner, to make sure the fossils were preserved.

Research teams will continue to examine the significance of human artistry and prehistoric wonder, where rock carvings and dinosaur tracks help write the narrative of Brazil's ancient past.

90,000-year-old human footprints found on a Moroccan beach are some of the oldest and best preserved in the world

Two trails of ancient human footprints pressed into a beach in Morocco form one of the largest and best-preserved trackways in the world.

Researchers happened upon the footprint site near the northern tip of North Africa in 2022 while studying boulders at a nearby pocket beach, according to a study published Jan. 23 in the journal Scientific Reports.

"Between tides, I said to my team that we should go north to explore another beach," study lead author Mouncef Sedrati, an associate professor of coastal dynamics and geomorphology at the University of Southern Brittany in France, told Live Science. "We were surprised to find the first print. At first, we weren't convinced it was a footprint, but then we found more of the trackway." Read more.

Strange sand prints. Possibly a heffalump? Or bantha tracks?

On a secluded beach in Morocco, an extraordinary window into our past has been uncovered, revealing 85 human footprints that trace back to an astonishing 90,000 years ago. This remarkable find offers a unique glimpse into the lives of a group of Homo sapiens who walked the earth during the Late Pleistocene era.
