Fossil footprints found near Lake Turkana in Kenya, dating back 1.43 million years, indicate that the extinct human relative Paranthropus boisei was larger and traveled in groups.

Researchers analyzed 21 fossil footprints and suggested that they could represent a human who was 6 feet tall and weighed 165 pounds. They also proposed that these footprints were left by a group of mostly adult males, which could have had a more complex social structure.

The discovered fossil footprints provide new insights into human evolution and reveal previously unknown details about the lifestyle of Paranthropus boisei.
