Mexico footprints could be a giant archaeological step
By Dan Vergano, USA TODAY
Archaeologists expressed caution Wednesday about the reported discovery of 40,000-year-old human footprints in central Mexico. If the age of the footprints is verified by scientists outside the discovery team, the find would be a scientific blockbuster, rewriting the story of human migration into the New World.

As cool a find as this would be, footprints do not cross layers of sediment. Thats one of the ways things are dated, what level of the earth they are found. I think in the end that this will go down as a false alarm, unless they find more footprints that don't cross earth era layers. Not to mention the unlikely event that humans could have survived in that era with the gross amount of large predators. But I may be proven false in the end, we shall see.
