Our ancestors DID need shoes. Footprints in South Africa dated to be between 75K and 136K years old show footwear in use. We invented shoes possibly 100,000 years before we invented written language.

    Do they show shoes or do they show sandals?

    Normally not a big difference, footwear is footwear. But, if we're talking about socks, then the difference becomes relevant again.

    Undetermined. Just the bottom of the shoes made an imprint.
