A new study using a dating method called radiocarbon dating of conifer pollen has revealed that the oldest Fossilized Human Footprints found in White Sands, New Mexico are over 20,000 years old, pushing back the timeline for human presence in North America. The study's findings support previous research that had been met with skepticism from the archaeological community. The footprints, which include those of a female and a toddler, suggest a division of labor among early humans, with teenagers and children responsible for "fetching and carrying" tasks.
