Dinosaur Tracks: The Next Steps, Page 113 - EN Jawaraspeed
#Archaeopteryx, an ancient bird, is traditionally identified as the precursor to dinosaurs.
Since the 19th century, many have questioned whether dinosaurs ever existed.
Although many thought that dinosaurs had vanished from Earth long ago, some remained unconvinced.
In 1912, a group of scientists presented evidence to support their theory that a group of dinosaurs had survived to the present day in South America.
They called these surviving dinosaurs ‘track seductors.’ In this paper, a former tracing enthusiast describes his experiences tracing dinosaur footprints and the theories generated from these experiences.
MOST TRADITIONAL USES OF DINOSAUR FOOTPRINTS FOCUS ON EDUCATING FUTURE GENERATIONS ABOUT EARLY HUMANS AND THEIR PREDECESSORS, THE DINOSAURS.
However, some have suggested that dinosaur footprints can also teach modern people about their nature and values.
For example, footprints found in Nazi Germany helped teach Nazi ideology to future generations.
In addition, traceable artworks created after Hitler’s reign showed how individuals interpreted those artworks based on what they had experienced in life.
Future generations can learn from our past and create by drawing inspiration from these preserved records of humanity’s evolution.
IN ADDITION, DINOSAUR FOOTPRINTS HAVE LED TO MANY NEW DISCOVERIES ABOUT THE HISTORY OF EARTH AND ITS ECOSYSTEMS.
For example, one famous set of Archaeopteryx footprints led scientists to Bovill Station in England where a giant slab of stone bore numerous fossilized dinosaur tracks.
This explains how earlier expeditions found similar large slabs of rock at Dovre in Norway and Solnhofen in Germany.
Traceable artworks created after Hitler’s reign showed how individuals interpreted those artworks based on what they had experienced in life.
Early explorers used dinosaur footprints to map out Africa’s geography before they traveled there themselves.
The first documented investigation of dinosaur footprints occurred in 1822 when two French soldiers tracked a herd of Sauro-Celestials (a genus of sauropod) in Italy.
Ultimately, this led to the discovery of Archaeopteryx fossils- an ancient bird thought for many years to be a dinosaur.
Tracking archaeopteryx became an academic pursuit in its own right as several researchers sought to answer questions about this now-extinct species.
Many new discoveries about these animals are made each year thanks to technology allowing scientists to trace their footsteps through history.

ALTHOUGH TRACING HAS BECOME AN ACCEPTED PRACTICE WITHIN SCIENCE, IT HAS ALSO GENERATED PLENTY OF THEORETICAL IDEAS ABOUT DINOSAURS AND HUMAN EVOLUTION.
Ultimately, dinosaur footprints have both confirmed and disproven decades’ worth of theories about prehistoric life- both human and dinosaurian.
These tracks have led us far back into the history of our planet and the history of humankind itself- giving us a better understanding of who we are as a people and a culture.
