This is an interesting story about an alleged footprint found in sediment in N. America. At first scientists thought it to be 40,000 years old, but specialists say it's around 1.3 million. That throws alot of scientific data off the boards big time.
If it proves out, it means some form of man was in N. America and that modern man may be far older than previously assumed.
This'll be a great story to follow.
