jan 1, 2003 - The footprint of who may be the fastest man in history was found by mary Mary Pappen Jr.

Description:

A footprint was found in a wetland in Mungo National Park in New South Wales, Australia in 2003 by a young Aboriginal girl named Mary Pappen Jr. Scientists have since found 700 fossil footprints, 400 of them grouped in a set of 23 tracks. The tracks belonged to several groups who crossed the wetland. One man from the said groups could hold the role of the fastest human in history, with his supposed speed of 37 k per hour. Still, Archaeologists concluded that one footprint is not enough information to confirm it, as a sprinter can go faster than a world record runner at times. As of now, we have no way of knowing if he was actually the fastest man alive.
