In this brief essay, the author critiques the dating and site-formation processes related to the ancient footprints recently reported by M. R. Bennett et al. (2021) in Science (373:1528–1531), and offers an alternative working hypothesis that the features could relate to Clovis, not pre-Clovis humans
