WASHINGTON—A trail of fossilized footprints
left more than 100,000 years ago by an anatomically modern
human has been found on the shore of a South African
lagoon. The fossils, found in a sand-dune-turned-rock dated
at 117,000 years ago, are the oldest known footprints of an
anatomically modern human.
