Two paleontologists, Dr  Tyson and Dr  Rees, disagree over the interpretation of certain footprints that were left among other footprints in hardened volcanic ash at site G  Dr  Tyson claims they are clearly early hominid footprints since they show human characteristics: a squarish heel and a big toe immediately adjacent to the next toe  However, since the footprints indicate that if hominids made those prints they would have had to walk in an unexpected cross-stepping manner, by placing the left foot to the right of the right foot, Dr  Rees rejects Dr
Tyson' s conclusion
Certain species of bears had feet very like human feet, except that the outside toe on each foot was the biggest toe and the innermost toe was the smallest toe.
