In this episode, we explore five strange fossilized footprints found by Mary Leakey at the site of Laetoli in Tanzania. Decades after their original discovery, these footprints have revealed a new story about our ancient ancestors that expands our understanding of how hominins moved and interacted.

Thanks Thanks to Dr. Ellison McNutt and Dr. Charles Musiba for sharing their work.
