Who were our ancestors? From where did we originate? If we came out of Africa, what factors governed our routes? And when? Now finally this interactive map, created collaboratively with Professor Stephen Oppenheimer, based on his book, The Real Eve: Modern Man’s Journey Out of Africa, reveals an exciting journey of opportunity and survival, confirmed by genetic science and documented by ancient rock art, we look in-depth at the Journey of Mankind and investigate how modern science has helped shed light on this monumental exodus.
