HALABELLA | Neanderthal Footprints In France | Largest Neanderthal Footprint Discovery @halabella6 | Uploaded December 2022 | Updated October 2024, 9 hours ago.
Neanderthals are amongst the most recently departed. The long-stigmatized theory of Neanderthals was that they were cave men, hunter gatherers and all that is the opposite of us. But as we learned more about them, we realized that they were actually more like us. Turns out, Neanderthals were culturally and socially complex beings who also interbred with humans for thousands of years.
Through the different studies conducted, we came to know that they usually travelled in groups and the discovery that we are going to discuss todaysupports this social behavior of these ancestors of ours heavily. Scientists have found hundreds of perfectly preserved footprints, providing evidence that Neanderthals walked the Normandy coast in France and in groups.
The tracks were discovered by archaeologists working at a site called Le Rozel on the country’s northwestern shore. Carefully brushing away layers of sand, the scientists found 257 footprints between 2012 and 2017. The team described the collection in a paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The prints suggest a group of 10-13 individuals, mostly children and adolescents, were on the shoreline 80,000 years ago.Jérémy Duveau, a co-author of a study, said the prints were left in muddy soil and quickly preserved by wind-driven sand.Each of the footprints was photographed and modelled in three dimensions. Casts were taken of a few of them using an elastomer, which is less rigid than plaster. Many of the prints were lifted from the site to be preserved elsewhere and those that were not extracted were destroyed by the wind.
