History
1.Scientists in Africa found a footprint
which they believed were more
than 3 million years’ old.
2.We learn about prehistory by
studying artifacts & fossils.
3.Scientist use carbon-14 as a
method to date the artifacts &
fossils found.
4.They estimate that some fossils are
40,000 or 50,000 years’ old.
