Isaac-- I do not think that human beings are the product of genetic engineering in the conventional sense of the term. You may read between the lines there.
As to human footprints back in the days of the dinosaurs-- no. Sorry. Not unless someone invented a time machine and went camping in the Triassic or Jurassic.
The notion that, genetically, the same foot form would evolve multiple times is a reach. There would have to be considerable intervention and selection to ensure that. Plenty of people have commented over the years (see Science Fiction authors) as to the fact that intelligence does not need to evolve human form.
If one fully appreciates the writings of Jacques Vallee or John Keel, it's easy to imagine that the Phenomena as a superb illusionist-- planting seeds of all kinds of belief systems for the eyes of the beholders. I do not believe in any of the current understandings per se-- because they are too self-conflicting. Except that I know there is SOMETHING. Whatever that is, it is liminal. As Jacques rightly points out... for the Phenomena... Reality is Negotiable.
