Paul Salopek

Paul Salopek is two years into a 21,000-mile walk that will take him from Ethiopia to South America’s Tierra del Fuego archipelago, retracing the path taken by ancient peoples to move out of Africa. Even the bravest travellers would classify his walk as an extraordinary achievement — but Salopek believes that humans are hardwired to walk long distances. After all, our ancient ancestors were hunter-gatherers who walked some 2,500 miles per year.
