Further in the article they indicate prints possibly dating back to 120,000 yrs in Tanzania but are yet to be confirmed. Dating back that far surely must have a wealth of complications to it. Bit if they can date the European tracks to 36,500 yr back, imagine what's out there yet to be discovered. No doubt evidence of man in complex social groups are likely below the ground levels and will require excavating.
They've yet to really nail down earliest societies in South America. Financing and the ground cover prevent establishing those early complex communities. LIDAR's development will help once employed to map large regions in So. America.

But radiocarbon measurements of two cave bear bones excavated just below the footprints now indicate that Homo sapiens made these tracks around 36,500 years ago, say anthropologist David Webb of Kutztown University in Pennsylvania and his colleagues.
