Researchers have identified 21 fossilized footprints in Kenya, dating back approximately 1.43 million years, which they attribute to the Paranthropus boisei species. These tracks, found near Lake Turkana, offer insights into the physical characteristics and social behavior of these early hominins, suggesting that adult males sometimes traveled in groups without females or children. The findings, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, also indicate that Paranthropus boisei coexisted with Homo erectus in the region. AI
