Drought conditions have revealed well-preserved dinosaur tracks at a state park in Texas
The fossilized hominin footprints, which date to some 300,000 years ago, were probably left by members of the species Homo heidelbergensis
The footprints belonged to two dinosaurs that roamed the Sichuan province, paleontologists discovered
These human prints were surrounded by animals but not hunted animals, indicating humans were just thirsty
The human-like footprints are approximately 5.7 million years old & are believed to challenge established theories of human evolution about who did the first walking step in the history of humankind
