Scientists Found Footprints That Reveal a New Past

Did you know scientists found the oldest human footprint ever? It’s a single step frozen in time, left by an ancient human over 1.2 million years ago in Spain! This footprint gives us a rare glimpse into how our distant ancestors lived and moved around. What’s cool is that it was preserved in mud that hardened over time, almost like nature’s time capsule. Researchers believe it was made by a young individual, possibly part of a family group exploring the area. It’s amazing to think a simple footprint can teach us so much about our ancient past!
