A trip to the Engare Sero footprint site near Lake Natron, where researchers documented over 400 fossilized human footprints preserved in volcanic ash, among the largest such collections ever found.
Discovered and extensively studied in the 2010s, the Engare Sero footprints are believed to be thousands of years old, preserved in hardened volcanic mudflow from a nearby volcano. This is a distinct archaeological site from Olduvai Gorge, representing a different, much more recent period of human history captured in a single dramatic snapshot of footprints.
