Abstract excerpt:

>In this paper, we report new Optically Stimulated Luminescence dating that places the hominin footprints surface in the range of 295.8 ± 17 ka (MIS 9-MIS 8 transition, Middle Pleistocene).

>This new age implies that the possible track-makers are individuals more likely from the Neandertal evolutionary lineage. Regardless of the taxon attributed to the Matalascañas footprints, they supplement the existing partial fossil record for the European Middle Pleistocene Hominins being notably the first palaeoanthropological evidence (hominin skeleton or footprints) from the MIS 9 and MIS 8 transition discovered in the Iberian Peninsula, a moment of climatic evolution from warm to cool.

>Thus, the Matalascañas footprints represent a crucial record for understanding human occupations in Europe in the Pleistocene.

Would that warm to cool period include north Africa? Where warm periods brought on higher rainfall, inland deltas/marshland and savanna to the Sahara while cooler periods bring the conditions we see today and forced migration?

At 20 year generations, that would be 15,000 generations ago. Interesting,

Gee that means that for almost 294,000 years those people couldn't be saved and went to purgatory, ... something doesn't compute.

What makes you say that? I’m genuinely curious.

According to bibleask.org, the flood took place around 1656AM when Noah was 600 years old. I’m assuming that’s the flood you mean.

Nah, the idea of purgatory didn't exist until around 1200 AD.

Yea, what doesn't compute is the religion you based that opinion off of. Find what you believe to be constantly contradicting well agreed upon science? Then your beliefs are the "doesn't compute" factor in the equation.
