The Dagha boys: kicking their heels to escort you to Africa
Greeting fellow frontiers men and women!
On a recent trip to Lake Natron, in Tanzania, we were lucky enough to be shown some of the ancient human footprints, made in mud, estimated to be 120,000 years old. They were preserved under a layer of volcanic debris from the famed volcano Ol Doinyo Lengai, which is still active, and were only discovered recently. The similarities to my modern size 11 are scary (those of you who know me know that I hardly ever wear shoes, bit like the owner of the Natron foot)
Was this one of my antecedents? I like to think so, and I will add him to our family tree – Grunt Addison…
