In a world rapidly spiraling into climate turmoil, will we
reorient to welcome migration not only as a right, but a necessary
human adaptation? In this week’s essay, writer Tristan McConnell
ventures across Turkana in northwest Kenya, home of the Great Rift
Valley: a place where some of our earliest ancestors emerged
millions of years ago before dispersing in waves first across,
and then out of the continent. As he discovers how deeply
human movement, landscape, and survival are entwined, he wonders
what such a place might remind us about who we truly are, and have
always been. Read this story. Learn more about your ad choices.
