The Laetoli footprints are a wonderful. I wish I could understand it better! For this 75 year old woman who does not have fantastic hearing, closed captions would be so helpful.

Hi there. Closed captions are available on this video, just hit the CC button. It misses a few things, but not many from what I can see. It mistranscribed Olduvai gorge as “OD gorge” and “African Rift Valley system” as “VAR system”.

Thank you. Now the CC is working. I swear it was not lighted up last night!@@lyle1157

This presentation was so much fun to watch: I just finished reading Johanson’s books Lucy and Lucy’s Child, and hearing more about the sites discussed in them gave me goosebumps. I’m such a fan girl…😉
