    :-DDD Yes, today's coast is c 20 km from the ancient coast. Thanks a lot, my boy, for this very extensive & beautiful report on Hn-like footprints (even wider than in Hn).
    It confirms that early-Pleistocene Homo were coastal omnivores that gradually & in parallel (initially presumably seasonally) followed the ponds & rivers inland. Google e.g. "coastal dispersal Pleistocene Homo" doi 10.13140/RG.2.2.34581.22245.

    "... aeolian bodies ... dune origin ... fine sands & silts ... fluidised sediments injection into the sandy upper body ... apparent water saturation of sediments ... coastal areas of the Gulf of Cadiz ... favouring the settlement of human populations ...
    shore-line position ... very extensive coastal plain ... large flooded areas in shallow & hyper-saline lacustrine environments ... fluvio-deltaic coastal plain ... tidal flats ... dune systems moving landward from the coast. High sea positions & inter-
    stadial periods would favour this development of dune systems ... these footprints...were impressed in the last phases of MIS 9 in transition to MIS 8, a period of variations in the landscape characterised by an extensive coastal plain with large dune
    systems in an interglacial progressively extended by several 10s of kms due to a sea retreated during the glacial period."

    :-DDD
    Only pseudo-scientists still believe these wide-footed people ran after antelopes...

    Desert antelope have wide feet, eg. Near-coastal Oryx antelope of Yemen, Oman & Mediterranean seldom drink water, their hooves are wide like snow-adapted reindeer, and they make similar clicking sounds with their legs. But they don't dive or backfloat
    either.

    "During the last phases of MIS 9 in transit to MIS 8, the sea level
    would be, according to the composite sea-level curve for the
    Pleistocene epoch30, about 60 m below the present sea level,
    which would imply a shoreline position 20–25 km away from
    the present position."

    Some pseudo-scientist who doesn't understand "extensive coastal plain":

    ...

    not worth answering
