The following 'Bahasa' text translated to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "Human footprints believed to be over 800,000 years old were discovered by archaeologists in the Happisburgh coastal mud in Norfolk, England. Experts believe that the footprints come from five different individuals, presenting direct evidence of the oldest human presence in the Northern European region. "This is a very rare discovery," said Dr. Nick Ashton from the British Museum, as quoted from Ancient Pages."

"Terlihat Saat Air Laut Surut" translates to "Visible When the Sea Water Recedes" in English.

The following 'Bahasa' text translated to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "The footprint was revealed when the sea water receded. At the same time, scientists quickly documented the event before the sea water flooded the area again. "At first, we were unsure of what we saw, but as we removed the remaining beach sand and wiped off the sea water, it became clear that the depressions resembled footprints, possibly human footprints, and that we needed to record the surface as quickly as possible before the sea eroded it," explained Ashton."

"Seukuran Kaki Manusia Modern" translates to "The Size of Modern Human Feet" in English.

"In addition, scientists created a 3D model of the area that shows clear footprints, arches, and distinct toe marks left by a group of adults and children. Some of them are comparable to modern shoe sizes up to size eight in the UK."

According to Simon Parfitt, an archaeologist, the various dimensions of those footprints indicate that those involved were a family group, not a hunting group. They appear to be following a specific trail leading southward.

Researchers utilize foot dimensions to estimate the height of individuals who leave footprints. The height of these individuals is estimated to range from 91 cm to 152 cm.

When those footprints were formed, Happisburgh and the surrounding area were still connected to the mainland and the continent of Europe. It is possible that this place became a habitat for various animals, including deer and bison, while providing food sources such as plants, seaweed, and shellfish.

"Footprints of a Group of Families"

"The latest 3D model showcases these footprints in incredible detail, and by measuring the footprints, by looking at their length and width, we can actually reconstruct the height and weight of individuals, and from there, we can identify male individuals as well as some smaller individuals, likely including females and some young children. They clearly belong to a family group rather than a hunting group," explained Dr. Ashton.

"We cannot determine the human species that left these footprints, but we know from the age of this site that in southern Europe there is a species called Homo ancestor, which suggests that these footprints are actually left by the early human species."

"Manusia yang membuat jejak kaki di Happisburgh kemungkinan memiliki hubungan dengan orang-orang berusia serupa dari Atapuerca di Spanyol, yang dianggap sebagai spesies Homo antecessor (Manusia Pelopor). Orang-orang ini memiliki tinggi yang serupa dengan kita dan sepenuhnya berjalan dengan dua kaki." Translated: "The individuals who left footprints in Happisburgh likely have a connection with similarly aged individuals from Atapuerca in Spain, who are considered to be Homo antecessor (Pioneer Man) species. These individuals have a similar height to us and fully walk on two legs."
