The story of an extraordinary 3,000-mile journey from Asia to the Americas in pursuit of Stone Age wanderers. Could prehistoric humans have reached North America by crossing the Pacific in small open boats? An extraordinary archaeological find in 1996 suggested that they not only could have, but did. The author tells the incredible tale of his successful attempt to re-create what may have been the first great migration to the New World. Beyond the limits of science, through storm and hardship, he pursues an elemental insight into what motivated mankind's exodus from our African cradle to every corner of the globe.
