Ancient Stone Age Carvings in Namibia Reveal Intricate Human and Animal Tracks

Stone Age carvings in Namibia depict incredibly detailed human and animal tracks, with modern-day Indigenous trackers able to identify the species, age, and sex of the depicted animals in over 90% of cases. Indigenous trackers identified 40 different species, including giraffes, kudus, springboks, and rhinos. The carvings also included 106 human tracks, predominantly non-adult, with markers of sex and age. The purpose and deeper meanings of these carvings remain unknown.
