As Paul Salopek journeys around the world on foot, he will follow the migration pathways of our ancestors who walked out of Africa 50,000 years ago.

The event will be livestreamed with Google Hangout on Air. Come back on January 22 at 1:30pm ET to watch the event (refresh the page if you do not see a video) or on YouTube after the event is over.
Students can submit questions via Twitter (@PulitzerGateway, #PCedenwalk), Facebook (Pulitzer Gateway) or e-mail (globalgateway@pulitzercenter.org) by January 17. We’ll read all the questions ahead of time and select approximately ten of the most substantive and thoughtful for Paul to answer on the 22nd, when participants around the world can also chime in on the Google+ Hangout comment page or via Twitter.
The walk has been underway for a full year now, and Paul has written much about his experience so far. For ideas on questions, read Paul’s National Geographic cover story as well as his blog dispatches and milestones, or try the education materials on the Pulitzer Center Out of Eden Walk page and have students frame questions around the work Paul has already done.
