It is thought to have been made by Homo erectus, an ancestor of modern Homo sapiens. As the name suggests, Homo erectus is known from its skeleton to have walked upright, but the details of its gait could, in the past, be inferred only from bones, rather than being studied more directly. The new tracks, reported in Science by Matthew Bennett of Bournemouth University, in Britain, and his colleagues, confirm that Homo erectus walked heel-to-toe as a modern human does, rather than with the ape-like gait of its own ancestors, the australopithecines.
