Sound very interesting, I look forward to more info about this..

Archaeologists discovered human footprints, which should be up to 25 000 years old in the north of Mexico. Those altogether five traces of four adults and a child are to make explanation possible about the first inhabitants of the American continent.
However still laboratory tests would stand on, in order to determine the age with larger exactness, communicated national institut for anthropology and history (Inah).
The castings were found in bed one only in the rain time of water-leading brook in the proximity of the locality Creel in the Federal State Chihuahua. The scientists assume that they are due to members of an old trunk, that lived in close caves of the Tarahumara mountains.

"While no other footprints were found, experts found nearby the remains of primitive camps dating from the Pleistocene Era (1.8 million to 10,000 years ago), the statement read."A 10,000 year old campsite."
And this:

"38,000BC In 2003 British scientists found 40,000-year-old human footprints in central Mexico, shattering theories that mankind arrived in the Americas tens of thousands of years later from Asia. The footprints were found in an abandoned quarry close to the Cerro Toluquilla volcano and were subsequently studied and dated by a multinational team of scientists."

I think it's interesting how we are suddenly finding out that man has been around for a long, long time.
However, I do wonder why these were preserved? Did something cataclysmic happen before a thunderstorm, or snow storm, erased them from time? Or what about that comet struck the area of the Mexican Yucatan Peninsula around 65.3Mil BC.

"65.3Mil BC About this time a comet struck the area of the Mexican Yucatan Peninsula and created a crater, known today as Chicxulub, about 150-180 miles (200 km) in diameter. The area at this time was covered by ocean. The asteroid was initially believed to have been 6-12 miles (10 km) in diameter. It left a thin layer of iridium in rock strata around the world. Evidence for this was gathered by Luis Alvarez. The asteroid wiped out the dinosaurs, about 80% of the world’s plants species and all animals bigger than a cat. In 2002 it also was estimated to have wiped out 55-60% of the plant-eating insects. A high oxygen level may have contributed to a worldwide firestorm. In 1997 Walter Alvarez published "T. Rex and the Crater of Doom," an account of this critical event. The impact was estimated at 5 billion times greater than the atomic bombs of WW II. In 2007 US and Czech researchers used computer simulations to calculate that there was a 90 percent probability that the collision of two asteroids in 160 Mil BC was the event that precipitated the Chicxulub disaster. In 2008 new research using an osmium isotope indicated that the responsible asteroid was about 2.5 miles wide."
I'm not saying that these foot prints are 65 Million years old, I wasn't around back then.

That's very interesting, I found a little more info,

The experts made a study of terrain extending 50 kilometers (31 miles) around the place and found "an area with traces of primitive campsites."

That has led the experts to believe that humans were present in the area from times as remote as the Pleistocene Epoch - 12,000 years ago.

The anthropologists also found five caves nearby with traces of human presence, three of them with several layers of cave paintings from three different periods: preceramic, pre-Hispanic and colonial.

Also found in the caves were soot from bonfires and holes carved into the rocks to be used as mortars for grinding food.

At the cave entrances specialists also detected a series of holes 25 centimeters (almost 10 inches) in diameter by 1.3 meters (4 1/4 feet) deep "that could have been used for storing food, as well as some smaller ones perhaps used to stick wooden posts into," the note said.

Is there any mention of what team is doing this research?

Hi Hans, its Mexico's National Anthropology and History Institute.
Fascinating stuff indeed.
