8,000 years is perhaps half way back to the migration of humans from Asia across the Bering land bridge into North America. That migration took place at the height of the last glaciation when ice sheets a mile thick sprawled over lattitudes as far south as Michigan and Wisconsin, where I am currently typing this. That glaciation ended ~12,000 years ago. So those sandals were as far removed from the ice as we are from the building of the pyramids.
BTW, that glaciation was just one of about fifteen that have engulfed the Earth in the past 1.5 million years. Each lasts about 100,000 years, and each has been interrupted by about 10,000 years of relative warmth. The next one is not quite overdue.

>Random info for you jack (npub1sg6…f63m), the world's oldest known footwear to mankind (~8000 years old) is a pair of sandals found in a cave in Missouri, US - made out of leather and woven fiber (from a plant that is an antidote to snake venom) likely created by American Indian tribes.
