Laetoli site (Tanzania)
More than four decades ago, a team of paleoanthropologists found the footprints of a group of Australopithecus afarensis that went out for a stroll 3.6 million years ago. These ancient footprints preserved in volcanic ash were found at a site called Laetoli in northern Tanzania. Scientists say that a man accompanied by around four women is believed to have walked in the region at least 30 meters over the volcanic ash that later hardened into rock, leaving behind fascinating evidence of our ancestors.
