and composition of groups that differs from osteological and archeological remains, whose�…

Footprints represent a relevant vestige providing direct information on the biology,
locomotion, and behaviour of the individuals who left them. However, the spatiotemporal�…

Hominid footprints are particularly appealing and evocative of the living activity of our
ancestors. The most famous and oldest (Late Pliocene, ca. 3.7 Ma) hominid footprints, from�…

Fossil hominin footprints provide a direct source of evidence of locomotor behavior and
