Out of Eden Walk is on Kickstarter

Between 60,000 and 100,000 years ago, our ancestors walked out of Africa and within a few thousand lifetimes populated the Earth. Using the latest fossil and genetic evidence as guideposts, two time Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Paul Salopek is re-walking those ancient pathways in an unprecedented and continuous seven-year trek whose goal is to document the most compelling stories of our time at boot level.

Now, at the beginning of the second year of this historic undertaking, we need your support to keep Out of Eden Walk alive and Paul on the trail. Your backing will help him complete the next leg of the journey, from the Middle East through Turkeyand onward via the Silk Road to Central Asia, a walking distance of 3,700 miles
