Questions for Discussion: Laetoli Trackways Diagram
Describe the unusual series of circumstances that caused the Laetoli footprints to be preserved. Does this combination of events say anything about why such footprints are rare finds? Discuss why these footprints are so important to paleoanthropologists. The existence of an arch in the foot is described as an important advantage for a primate that always walks erect on two legs. Discuss and explain this line of reasoning.
