The site was first discovered in 1978 but was substantially expanded in 2016 and again in 2023, revealing far more tracks than previously known. The tracks record at least eight individuals who crossed a shallow lakeshore, leaving behind evidence of their anatomy, walking style and possible behavior. “One trackway is oriented to the east while all other tracks and trackways are oriented toward the west,” the researchers noted. “It is possible that the east-bound individual is also sampled in the west-bound tracks, but evidence to make that determination is lacking.” Insights into hominin body size, locomotion, and behavior from Early Pleistocene trackways in northern Kenya.
