[edit] Date of discovery

The date of discovery was not 1976-1977, it was 1978. The encarta source says this, and so does the textbook "Introduction to Physical Anthropology" by Robert Jurmain et al (page 271). According to talkorigins.org, a reputable source, there were two sets of footprints found. The more significant find was in 1978, although there was one in 1976 belonging to animals. I have changed the date. Here are the links http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/homs/mleakey.html http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/homs/specimen.html#laetoli
