Oldest set of human footprints discovered
They were left by three small human-like creatures who scrambled down the side of the mountain between 325,000 and 385,000 years ago.
Researchers said it was clear from the tracks the pigmy hominids, probably no taller than 1.5 metres, walked on two legs. The footprints, found at the Roccamonfina volcano in Campania, southern Italy, are locally known as devils' trails.
