These footprints in Morocco date back 100,000 years ago. They are the oldest known human footprints from North Africa and the southern Mediterranean.
These prints were left by at least 5 individuals, children, adolescents and adults. The footprints have escaped the wear and tear of time and natural elements thanks to “a covering by fine sediments during a phase of low swell conditions combined with a period of low tidal range” Today they are threatened by rising sea levels and storms. Dr. Mouncef Sedrati would like to collaborate with Moroccan teams and the National Center for Scientific and Technical Research.
