In Crete, scientists have made the Grand opening

Found human traces left in the time when people were not there yet.

Paleontologists from Sweden, Poland, USA and Greece (Polish Geological Institute — Polish Research Institute; Department of Organismal Biology, Uppsala University, Sweden; Dinosaur Tracks Museum, University of Colorado Denver; University of Warsaw; Faculty of Earth Sciences, University of Silesia; Bournemouth University; Hellenic Ministry of Culture and Sports, Ephorate of Palaeoanthropology-Speleology, Greece; University of Crete, Natural History Museum) examined the set of footprints discovered at the Western tip of the Greek island of Crete.

It was left by bipedal creatures. Footprints imprinted in the coastal mud, which was formed in place of temporarily shallow Mediterranean sea.

Scientists assure that all signs of human remains — it is possible to distinguish five fingers, the heel and other characteristics. That is, on the island of Crete heritage people. What, according to the accepted current theories, be could not. After all, the chain prints, as it was established, 5.7 million years. And at that time all who could — even theoretically – to walk in the Cretan shore, were in Africa. Got out of it and settled in Europe in 3 million years.

Scientists puzzled: the find indicates that our ancient native European ancestors could appear, regardless of their African colleagues. Could appear much earlier than them and thus early to straighten up, standing on two legs.

Or even in those distant times there was a more advanced kind of people who traveled from Africa to places now occupied by Greece, that is, on the mere at the bottom of the dried-up Mediterranean sea.

Tracks look human. Monkeys leave others.

The remains of a heritage not found. So there is no exact answer to the question, who is there roaming around. The mystery of it. It can even be a fantastic version that 5.7 million years your feet in the sea water soaked any space aliens. Surprisingly, only she would reconcile the finding with the now dominant theories of the origin of man.
