The Journey Continues......
Approximately 3.5 million years ago, an early hominid walked across fresh volcanic ash in Laetoli, Tanzania.
It was unaware of its place among life on Earth. It was unaware of the amazing and storied future that awaited its successors. And it was unaware of the eventual immortality it would enjoy when in 1978, the preservation of that walk would be discovered and become one the most sobering reminders of the long epic journey of our species - a message in a bottle across the ages.
