Out Of Eden Walk – National Geographic
Pre-human hominins began migrating out of Africa and into Eurasia as far back as 2 million years ago or more, but the wave of migration of modern humans that led to our species populating the Earth (or overrunning it, as some would say) seems to have taken place around 70,000 years ago. Many years of scientific research have identified the likeliest route taken across Africa, Asia, across the now-vanished land bridge at the Bering Straits (although that part of the route is controversial) and down the coasts of North and South America. Now, National Geographic photojournalist has set out to walk the entire route – the entire route – on foot (except for a short boat trip across the Bering Sea). He began in Africa in 2013 and is now in Central Asia, crossing the Silk Road. It’s an absolutely insanely ambitious undertaking, and he’s documenting the entire trip – you can follow along on his journey at National Geographic.
