They provide evidence of stature, presence, behaviour and in the case of early hominin footprints, evidence with respect to the evolution of human ga

Inferences from Human Tracks,hese empirical relationships and demonstrate their limitations with respect to the interpretation of tracks in the geological record. In the latter part of the chapter we explore what can deduced about the speed of a track-maker and the way in which variations in that speed may be reflected in the topology of the tracks themselves.
