Tristan McConnell is a writer who spent years working as a foreign
correspondent in Nairobi. In this essay, Tristan ventures across
the rugged landscape of Turkana in northwest Kenya, home of Kenya’s
Rift Valley: the place where, millions of years ago, our first
human ancestors emerged and then dispersed in waves out of the
continent. Present-day Turkana is a place that continues to be
defined by human migration. As Tristan meets with archaeologists,
pastoralists, and activists, he considers the ways in which
Turkana’s long story is still being written. Learn more about your
