950,000 y. o. foot prints found on Norfolk beach: belong to the oldest human ancestor

[Timeshifter]

You just have to love this stuff. How, do they date some dents in a stone?

Love the tagline above, can they?

'The line of footprints is thought to have been trampled onto the coast of Happisburgh in Norfolk 950,000 years ago and they are likely to have been left by one of the earliest known varieties of human called Homo antecessor'

Imagine being this inteligent, to be able to have thoughts like this.

'No tools were found on this occasions but experts are now hoping that fossilised bones will soon be discovered so they can finally get some confirmation as the whether Homo antecessor or another type of ancient human were on this beach almost one million years ago'

Is there any wonder the world is in the state it is? Populations brainwashed by this stuff.

I wonder if ever any students think, wtf is this? And question it?

It's certainly possible that they're footmarks. I'd see no reason to doubt it.

But you're right, the dating of these things seems more concerned with supporting narratives than being based in any fact.

For me, I'm not as interested so much in whether they're footprints, or what era they're from for that matter. I always look to the narrative being pushed in accordance with the 'evidence' being presented. With this, it's attempting to (yet again) solidify the baseless assertion that evolution is a proven fact and not a theory, and that the world is millions of years old.

They hope to find bones, but that’s highly unlikely. Preserved dinosaur footprints were found in Utah and made into a museum, but no bones found. They even had to guess at what creatures made the footprints.

Looking for bones linked to these footprints is about as likely as finding that pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. I guess these footprints weren’t as talkative as the Chinese pants.

It's impossible to date stone.
