Around 13,000 footprints - the probability of
two adults and one child - was found on an island in western Canada.
According to a study published Wednesday, about
13,000 years ago human footprints were found on an island off the coast of
western Canada, which is the oldest in North America.
According to the authors of the study published in Parrose One magazine, footprints are due to walking between two adults and a child barefoot, who are walking barefoot on a beach on Calvert Island in the northeast of Vancouver Island today.
According to chief author Duncan McLaren, professor of human sciences total traces of 29 feet were found during the excavation work from 2014 to 2016.
Studies show that humans were present on the Pacific coast of British Columbia about 13,000 years ago, and this area was well snow free before the end of the last ice age on this continent about 11,700 years ago.
They came from Asia The search further strengthens the hypothesis that the first humans reaching North America had migrated from Asia through an ice-free land corridor, which is now British Columbia.
But it is not easy for the researchers to support the hypothesis, because
Canada's area is very rugged, which is surrounded by dense jungle and can only
be reached by boat.
Researchers focused their digging on a tidal area on Calvert Island, where
water levels were two to three meters (yards) lower at the end of the ice age
than today.
