The ash from ancient volcanoes that blanketed the Serengeti plains millions of years ago helped preserve the footprints of the ancient ancestors of humans- the Australopithecines

(Australopithecus afarensis).

The evolution of humans occurred during a period of 15 million years.

During this period, the evolution of different man-like stages occurred which finally led to the modern man.

These stages were

1. Dryopithecus/Ramapithecus

2. Australopithecus afarensis

3. Homo habilis

4. Homo erectus

5.Homo neandarthalensis

6. Homo sapiens (Modern Human)

The 2nd stage of human evolution i.e Australopithecus afarensis probably lived in East African grasslands that are a part of present-day Tanzania.

Laetoli is an archaeological site in Northern Tanzania where footprints of ancient humans were discovered as they were preserved in the ash from volcanoes.

The footprints discovered were probably of Australopithecus afarensis.

Hence, the ash from ancient volcanoes that blanketed the Serengeti plains millions of years ago helped preserve the footprints of the ancient ancestors of humans- the Australopithecines

(Australopithecus afarensis).
