Fossil:化石; Archaeological:考古的

Delicate toe bones seen above from a 40,000-year-old human are indicative of habitual shoe-wearing, according to a study in the July issue of theJournal of Archaeological Science.

The finding suggests humans were wearing footwear 10,000 years earlier than previously believed.

上面的骨头是距今4万年的人类脚趾骨头化石，考古科学杂志7月份的一项研究表明那时的人类已经开始对脚步采取保护措施。这项发现把人类穿鞋的历史又向前推了1万年。
