Archaeologists discover Ice Age human footprints in the Utah desert —may be more than 12,000 years old.



Daron Duke and Thomas Urban, a Research Scientist with Cornell University, discovered 88 preserved human footprints on alkaline plains at the Utah Test and Training Range.

The two researchers were working for the Air force this month, and the footprints they accidentally discovered are believed to be more than 12,000 years old.

Additional research is being done to confirm the discovery, but these are not the first footprints discovered in the United States. White Sands National Park in New Mexico was the first place where human footprints from the Pleistocene age were detected.

According to the most recent studies, there have been people living in the Tularosa Basin and North America for at least 23,000 years. Before, it was believed that people first came to North America closer to 13,500–16,000 years ago.

1. Never bought the idea that this hemisphere was 100% populated via Beringea.

People hunting fish, seals, and seaweed during the last Ice Age most likely island hopped their way here. There were a whole lot more islands to hop during the glacial maximum and skin boats are remarkably seaworthy.
