A Path Older Than Memory – A Conversation with Paul Salopek

In this conversation, Emmanuel Vaughan-Lee speaks with Pulitzer
Prize–winning journalist Paul Salopek, who is a decade into a
remarkable journey retracing, on foot, the migration pathway
taken by the first humans out of Africa tens of thousands of years
ago. Speaking to us from the Liaoning province in northeastern
China, Paul shares how moving at three miles per hour has deepened
his personal relationship to time. As he becomes attuned to what he
terms "sacramental time," the boundaries between the physical and
metaphysical begin to blur into an expansive experience of
timelessness. Read the transcript. Sign up for our newsletter to
