What are the Laetoli footprints?

The Laetoli footprints are a set of fossilized footprints discovered by Mary Leakey and her team in 1978 in Tanzania. These footprints, estimated to be about 3.6 million years old, are significant because they show evidence of bipedalism in early hominins, providing insight into the evolutionary history of humans.
