But these remarkably preserved footprints were the first to indicate that two different species of hominins — including Homo erectus, which is a direct ancestor to humans, and Paranthropus ...

Within a few hundred thousand years of the encounter, the Paranthropus boisei would be extinct for reasons that are still unknown. By contrast, the Homo erectus species persisted for another ...
