Until 22,000 years ago, dragging marks and human footprints have been found in the various Sand White National Parks in New Mexico. These are made by the people who pull long woods that are made of goods are made and proof of such activity is made.
This type of primitive vehicle is known as Travo. “It’s basically a wheel without wheel,” he says Matthew Bennett At Bournemouth University in the UK, he studied the team member.
They were widely used around the world, but that is far, the oldest evidence of their use, says Bennett. “There is nothing old.”
An ancient dry sand lake with many ancient animal traces Found the human footprint in 2017. In 2019, the team found a long drag brand with some human remains, identified by many other examples.
“They occur in different areas, so it was very widespread,” says Bennett. “It’s not the only family inventor using a travois.”
Some drag marks are in a single line. The team believes that a travois consisting of two triangular-shaped wood has been made, one end of each piece is kept in one hand, but only contact points with the earth.
Other drag brands are made up of two parallel lines. These probably crossed two pieces of wood as a result of the two wood veneer, giving two handles and two ground contact points, which would be more stable.
The drag marks frequently rode the remains of the person who assumes the travois was pulling, as expected. In some cases, there are parallel traces of footprint – often among the children – walks along with other people.

Dogs or horses in the world travois pulled the dogs, says Bennett, but there is no evidence that white sand used animals.
Trace dating, Announced in 2021Humans questioned the conventional idea that they did not go to America until the ice sheets began He retreated about 15,000 years ago.
“The town of America’s discussion is very controversial, but we are pretty sure with the dates,” says Bennett. “Traditional story is that the ice sheets were divided and came, but you can come before closing the door.” The latest discoveries could reach humans to America As soon as 33,000 years ago.
Bennett said it is very likely that there are similar trails around the world. In fact, his team has already found any other brand of the US already, he says.
