Neanderthal?

 It seems that there are some footprints in the rock of an Italian volcano hat have people wondering.

According to legend, the devil once took a walk down the side of a volcano in southern Italy, each step preserved forever in solid rock.

Like I said earlier, folks are wondering.

Since 2001, researchers have sought to explain the dozens of impressions left by a small group of human ancestors and even a few animals snaking their way down the mountainside.

Humans have always been curious, and sometimes fail to exercise good judgement.   If he walked across lava that was soft enough to leave a footprint, I bet he danced the last couple of steps.

More likely they walked thru the ash, which soon after got wet and solidified.
