		Our four-legged, five-toed ancestors conquered the land earlier and more independently than expected, say paleontologists studying newfound 345 to 359-million-year-old tracks at an eroding beach in eastern Canada.
		The five-digit tracks range in size from four inches to less than an inch and seem to contradict the prevailing idea that the first tetrapods had wide variety of other-than-five-toed (polydactyl) feet, out of which five-toed (pentadactyl) animals later won out as the most efficient on land.
		They actually moved ahead of the pack, and were not survivors of the winnowing of polydactyl tetrapods.

		If you would contemplate the lines of ancestors who through the long period of five centuries were making your life possible, you will do well to resort to certain mathematical calculations.
		If you knew the names of all your ancestors for five hundred years back, then (apart from doubling up due to inbreeding), you would have to be familiar with upwards of a hundred thousand names,―perhaps a quarter of a million.
		Sixteen generations back, at the beginning of the modern age, there were at a maximum thirty-two thousand male ancestors of yours, each your progenitor in equal degree.
