Although there were doubts about its authenticity virtually from the beginning, the remains were still broadly accepted for many years, and the falsity of the hoax was only definitively demonstrated in 1953. An extensive scientific review in 2016 established that amateur archaeologist Charles Dawson was responsible for the fraudulent evidence.

Matthew Bennett is professor of environmental and geographical sciences at Bournemouth University. He is a specialist in ancient footprints and has developed the Fossil Footprint Archive jointly with Robin Crompton of the University of Liverpool.
The Trachilos footprints are tetrapod footprints which show hominin-like characteristics from the late Miocene on the western Crete, close to the village of Trachilos, west of Kissamos, in the Chania Prefecture. Researchers describe the tracks as representing at least one apparent hominin or an unknown primate. The stratum in which the footprints were found was dated to about 5.7 million years ago, which predates the previously earliest discovered hominin footprints by about two million years. The researchers of the tracks suggest that it may imply the possibility of hominin evolution outside of Africa, contrary to the current theory.
