Out of Eden Walk

Over the next seven years, Pulitzer Prize—winning writer Paul Salopek is recreating on foot the epic journey of humanity's first migration 60,000 years ago, starting at our birthplace in Ethiopia and ending at the southern tip of South America. Along the way he is engaging with the major stories of our time — from climate change to technological innovation, from mass migration to cultural survival — by walking alongside the people who inhabit these headlines every day. Moving at the slow beat of his footsteps, Paul is seeking the quieter, hidden stories of people who rarely make the news.
