Archaeology Book Club: Footmarks, by Jim Leary

From the earliest human footprints preserved in mud to the modern-day movement of people across the globe, humanity has always been on the move. But what drove our ancestors to undertake such incredible journeys? And how has movement shaped our world as we know it today?

From ancient trackways worn down by countless feet to epic oceanic crossings, Jim reveals how our ancestors showed remarkable ingenuity and courage in their travels across continents and seas.  Join us for a conversation with Jim about what inspired the book, behind-the-scenes stories from the writing process, and more about the fascinating journeys and research he describes.
