Human Ancestor

In Kenya footprints of what is believed to belong to a human ancestor were found. Evidence shows that 1.5 million years ago the ancestor walked like us. The footprints belonged to a species called Homo erectus. Some of the footprints appeared to have belonged to a child. The Homo erectus, scientists estimate, were between five and nine feet tall. The ancestor's footprints show many things and will further help us understand human past.
