During the investigation in the region, scientists discovered the footprint of a shoe that is at least 100,000 years old in South Africa. This reportedly completely changed the way we think about human ancestors.
For example, it can be assumed that the Neanderthals living on the continent may have been much more advanced than previously thought. According to scientists, fingerprints were found in three archaeological sites. To date, these are the oldest that have ever been found.
4 prints were found in the Garden Route area of the National Park. The shape of the tracks proves that they were left by a person. However, it was not possible to find fingerprints showing that the people were wearing shoes. Accordingly, it can be assumed that if a person wears shoes, he is already quite developed. Source
