A Shared Walk over the Quantock Hills in Somerset.

Saturday 19th June 2010

The Ancestor’s Trail traces the course of Evolution by following footpaths representing the branches of Charles Darwin’s ‘Tree of Life’.

“A wonderfully imaginative, inspired idea!” – Richard Dawkins

“A brisk walk to the origin of life – who could hope for a better destination?” - Prof Steve Jones

It was inspired by Richard Dawkins’ book “The Ancestor’s Tale”, subtitled “A Pilgrimage to the Dawn of Life”. The book traces the evolutionary history of our species, and many others, back to our origins 3.7 billion years ago.

And at our Journey’s end?

We celebrate! Food and drink will be available, including the unique Ancestor’s Trail Primordial Soup. Not to be missed! We hope there will also be entertainment, music etc., and some uplifting/amusing chat. Check the website updates for details.

The event also aims to raise awareness of nature conservation by promoting the International Year of Biodiversity.
