This is not true. Amphibians evolved in the Devonian, which predates
the Carboniferous. The Carboniferous is divided into the Mississipian
and the Pennsylvanian, during which both reptiles and mammal-like
reptiles evolved. However, it would indeed be a shock if human bones
were fossilized during the period. I wonder why the news did not make
a huge headline as gigantic as the claimed "large-animal boones".
