The meaning of foot prints
The fastest human runner of all time
T8 are fossilised footprints of an Aboriginal tribe
Scientists predicted that they would have been faster than Usain Bolt if they were in the same conditions and also that he probably wasn’t the fastest runner from his tribe.
Usain bolt is currently the fast runner in the world
The Math
T8's estimate speed is 37km/h with a stride length of 1.8 to 1.9 metres
Although T8's wasn't proven to be faster than Usain Bolt scientists believe that if they were put in the same conditions the T8 would be faster
Usain Bolt's top speed is 44.7km/h
Factors that effect both speed times include correct boots, running track, nutrition, trainers, living conditions and more
20 000 year old footprints
On of the owners foot prints adapted to their environment by being able to hop around on one leg without a crutch

More than foot prints
They were 45 years old when died and the evidence proves that the Aboriginal people have ben here for over 50 000 years
Mungo Lady and man were buried over 42 000 years ago
Mungo man
Other evidence such as a collection of tools, animal remains and hearths was found around Mungo's body which suggests that it was a wet area
They found that his teeth had been removed which is a tradition made today when Aboriginal men enter adulthood
When he was buried his body was carefully placed in a grave with his legs bent, facing up wards and his hands over his groin. He was then covered in ochre which was a nature pigment around 60 miles away.
Reconnection to country
Scientists took his body to a lab which made the Aboriginal community angry, however, he was returned to his land and was given a formal apology
They are still deciding if they want to remarry him so he can lie in peace forever, or when technology improves to restudy him again.
The discovery of Mungo man and lady proved that Aboriginal people have lived for more than twice as they as scientist believed
