Nobody knows what language the first humans spoke as they rambled out of Africa 60,000 years ago.
One thing is sure: It wasn’t English. To honor the global scope of the “Out of Eden Walk” storytelling, we have begun the process of translating Paul Salopek’s dispatches from the trail. The first multilingual samples of this work are available now, thanks to the enthusiasm of a small cadre of fellow walkers—both volunteers and the international staff of National Geographic Magazine.
We are grateful for their ongoing efforts. If you are interested in helping translate the Walk’s journalism into your language, we would be delighted to hear from you. Your work will be credited. Please contact us.
Onward. Adelante. 向前. En avant. Weiter. Avanti. فصاعدا. הלאה.
