Homo ergaster tracks have been found in Kenya.
They are well-preserved and help fill in the picture of hominid locomotion through the past 1.5 million years. Yet I'm sure Young-Earth Creationists will call them ape footprints (Read the article linked above to see why this is impossible.) or claim they are fakes or are prints from modern humans. Some way, they have to work it so the earth is only 6,000 years old. Good luck, folks.
