Question: The Mysterious Origins of Man is a television special that included an interview with an American young earth creationist who claimed to have discovered human footprints alongside dinosaur footprints near a river in what U.S. state?

<P0-S0> Paleontology in Massachusetts refers to paleontological research occurring within or conducted by people from the U.S. state of Massachusetts. <P0-S1>  The fossil record of Massachusetts is very similar to that of neighboring Connecticut. <P0-S2>  During the early part of the Paleozoic era, Massachusetts was covered by a warm shallow sea, where brachiopods and trilobites would come to live. <P0-S3>  No Carboniferous or Permian fossils are known from the state. <P0-S4>  During the Cretaceous period the area now occupied by the Elizabeth Islands and Martha's Vineyard were a coastal plain vegetated by flowers and pine trees at the edge of a shallow sea. <P0-S5>  No rocks are known of Paleogene or early Neogene age in the state, but during the Pleistocene evidence indicates that the state was subject to glacial activity and home to mastodons. <P0-S6>  The local fossil theropod footprints of Massachusetts may have been at least a partial inspiration for the Tuscarora legend of the Mosquito Monster or Great Mosquito in New York. <P0-S7>  Local fossils had already caught the attention of scientists by 1802 when dinosaur footprints were discovered in the state. <P0-S8>  Other notable discoveries include some of the first known fossil of primitive sauropodomorphs and "Podokesaurus". <P0-S9>  Dinosaur tracks are the Massachusetts state fossil. <SEP> <P1-S0> Carl Edward Baugh (born October 21, 1936) is an American young earth creationist. <P1-S1>  Baugh has claimed to have discovered human footprints alongside dinosaur footprints near the Paluxy River in Texas. <P1-S2>  Baugh is a national television host, purporting to present science supporting creationism on the program "Creation in the 21st Century" on the Trinity Broadcasting Network. <P1-S3>  His claims have been called into question by the scientific community and other creationists. <P1-S4>  His educational credentials have also been called into question. <P1-S5>  He was also the president and a graduate of Pacific International University, an unaccredited university located in Springfield, Missouri. <SEP> <P2-S0> Glen Jay Kuban is an American computer programmer and independent investigator from Brunswick, Ohio. <P2-S1>  He became interested in studying dinosaur footprints in 1980, when he began studying the Paluxy River prints, which he had expected to be human. <P2-S2>  After studying these prints and conducting field work on them, however, he noticed that they appeared to be dinosaurian, not human. <P2-S3>  One reason he reached this conclusion was that the prints had shallow indentations that corresponded to dinosaurian toes, not human ones, and detailed analysis of the distinctive colorations in each purportedly human print revealed these prints to be dinosaurian. <P2-S4>  After cleaning and mapping the trails during his field work there, he tried, unsuccessfully, to convince creationists to look at them. <P2-S5>  After carefully studying the tracks, he determined that all of the purportedly human prints there were actually dinosaurian, writing, "I have concluded that no genuine human tracks have been found in the Paluxy riverbed." <SEP> <P3-S0> The Mysterious Origins of Man is a television special that originally aired on NBC on February 25, 1996. <P3-S1>  Hosted by Charlton Heston, the program argued that mankind has lived on the Earth for tens of millions of years, and that mainstream scientists have suppressed the fossil evidence for this. <P3-S2>  Some material included was based on the controversial "Forbidden Archeology", a book written by Hindu creationists Michael Cremo and Richard L. Thompson about anomalous archeological finds reported mainly in early scientific journals. <P3-S3>  It also included interviews with the following people: creationist Carl Baugh on the Paluxy tracks; Richard Milton, author of "Shattering the Myths of Darwinism", on Lucy; Neil Steede on Incan ruins; and Graham Hancock, author of "Fingerprints of the Gods", on Atlantis. <P3-S4>  It was produced by B.
