Archaeologists have found 115,000 year old footprint were they weren't expecting to. The footprints were found in a preserved mud-hole in Nefud Desert. Amazingly the footprints were surrounded by animal prints but showing all were using a popular trackway to find water.

Barningham Moor

Barningham Moor lies high in the Northern Dales between the Ure, Swale and Tees, a stretch of upland that most travellers notice only as a vague rise on the horizon while speeding along the A66. I have passed it for years without realising there was anything remarkable up there at all.

This disturbing discovery from the Goyet caves provides the clearest evidence yet of prehistoric inter-group violence and strategic predatory behavior among our extinct cousins.

На выходные съездил в Сомалилэнд (официально это части Сомали, но по факту независима с 1991г.).
