With different philosophies highlighting on the man’s transition into the current existence, there is a lot to see and verify at Laetoli which is located about 45 kilometres south of the famous Olduvai Gorge and it is where one archaeologist known as Mary Leakey and her team in 1976 bumped and discovered footprints of a hominid in the Tanzanian area of Laetoli. These hominid footprints are preserved in the volcanic ash and they seemingly reveal that early man walked in an upright manner. Still at Laetoli, other footprints discovered included those of animals like hyenas, rhinos, birds, baboons and even gazelles. Archaeologists were astounded by the discovery in Laetoli which proved that early man walked upright approximately 3.6 million years ago.
