Out of Eden: To Walk the World

Paul Salopek

Walking is falling forward.

Each step we take is an arrested plunge, a collapse averted, a disaster braked. In this way, to walk becomes an act of faith. We perform it daily: a two-beat miracle—an iambic teetering, a holding on and letting go. For the next seven years I will plummet across the world.

Journalist Paul Salopek embarks on a seven-year global trek from Africa to Tierra Del Fuego, following in the footsteps of our restless forebears.

Dennis T OConnor‘s insight:

This amazing adventure has been underway for about a year. Salopek expects to walk in the DNA footprints of our ancestors for for seven years.

Amazing.
