Not very good geologists on board there. Footprints in granite?

Cringe...
Granite is an igneous rock, which by definition, cooled from molten rock (in this case, somewhere around 1050 deg C). Meaning no foot print, fossil, anything preserved....
if it was sand eroded from a granite, then turned into a rock, it would be Sandstone not Granite |

I would suggest without seeing more of the picture's context that the rocks might be plaster casts found as part of a gorilla (or other large animal) enclosure at a zoo/wildlife park. Having the footprint would stimulate spectator interest...  |
 Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

that makes sense
but now that i look at it again
i see an ape face in the rock just to
the left and above the huge foot print
but of course that may be like seeing the face of
Jesus in a potato chip

I college, I told my geology professor that he had rocks in his head. It didn't go over as well as I expected it to. |

Clearly my professor was a lot more tolerant than you. Besides, I had picked him up one day and given him a ride when he was walking home and it started pouring rain. He was very thankful. |

If you're being a wise-ass, sure, why not 
Granite is an intrusive igenous rock, i.e. cooled from molten rock at some depth underground... i.e. NOT A FOOTPRINT!!!! |

well then if Bigfoot was walking on hot granite way deep inside the earth, then no wonder nobody ever finds one. BRILLIANT! They hide really well underground.

Nice catch of the face in the rock. Looks more like a baboon than an ape. Maybe the signature of the artist? Perhaps some pre-hominid civilization of advanced baboonoids who had mastered rock sculpture? The giant foot, maybe was a quasi-religious tribute to a tribal foot fetishness, and the species not yet literate, the artist signed his work with his face? |
