5.7-million-year-old human-like footprints found in Greece
Researchers have unearthed 5.7-million-year-old fossils of human-like footprints from Crete, from the time when the island had not yet detached from the Greek mainland. This comes after an ape's 7.2-million-year-old fossil teeth, the oldest human-like fossil were found in Bulgaria which led researchers to suggest that humans started to evolve in Europe much before they started to evolve in Africa.
