An Expedition Tracing the Great Migration of Humans Out of Africa


I regularly check into the Adventure Blog  to keep alert to expedition/adventure travel currently underway, something that has been a keen interest of mine all my life.  A new expedition just setting out traces the movement of humans out of Africa as they spread throughout the world.  Journalist Paul Salopek is has just begun a trek that will take him from Ethiopia to Tierra del Fuego, at the tip of South America.  As our ancestors did during the Pleistocene era, Salopek will travel by foot throughout this migration route followed by our ancestors over the next seven years.  He will be reporting his observations along this trek through his blog, Out of Eden – A journey through time, which can be accessed at the following URL: http://www.outofedenwalk.com/blog/foot-notes/2013/01/setting-out/

I will be following his blog narratives over this trek, and I thought that perhaps readers of this blog would also be interested.
