Episode 26: Out of Eden Walk with Paul Salopek 与保罗·萨洛佩克出走伊甸园

For this episode we embark on a story of ancient human migration with Pulitzer Prize-winning writer and National Geographic Fellow, Paul Salopek. Paul is currently on year nine of his 24,000-mile foot-journey tracing the ancient human migration from Africa across the globe. He started in January 2013 in Ethiopia and is making his way across the world to the southern tip of South America. This odyssey, as it is commonly referred to, is the Out of Eden Walk.  

In late 2021, Mei joined Paul in Yunnan for a first-hand experience of what day-to-day on the ground with Out of Eden Walk looks like. Paul has since made his way to Sichuan where he is continuing the traverse.  

本期我们将与普利策奖得主、国家地理研究员保罗·萨洛佩克一起讲述古代人类迁徙的故事。现在是保罗24000英里的旅程的第9个年头，他的旅程追踪的是古代人类从非洲穿越全球的迁徙。他于2013年1月开始在埃塞俄比亚工作，目前正在穿越世界，前往南美洲的最南端。这漫长而惊险的旅程被称为伊甸园之行。

2021年底，张玫和保罗一起来到云南，亲身体验了出走伊甸园的日常生活。后来保罗去了四川，在那里他继续征旅。
