Footprints across time, we can only speculate on their thoughts as they walked yet somehow that act of walking resonates with us now - those 192 - which one was I most like? Who might i have most got on with? Thanks for stirring such thoughts
'But what makes this family outing extraordinary is when it happened. Scientists have established that the Happisburgh footprints were between 850,000 and 950,000 years ago. And the group that made them were not modern humans, Homo sapiens, but our ancient relatives, Homo antecessor.' WOW!
My sister lives in Happisburgh, getting rapidly closer to having a sea view! I had no idea about the family of footprints, what an incredible find.
Oh my goodness! What a place to live. I hope the sea view approaches slowly.

I didn’t mention in the article, but one of the 192 had bunions, so I know exactly which one I’m most like!
