An introduction
Please note:  Our booking system is going LIVE soon. Please drop me an e-mail (via the contact tab) if you would like me to let you know when it's ready. The Trail is inspired by Richard Dawkins' book “The Ancestor's Tale”, subtitled a Pilgrimage to the Dawn of Life. The book rewinds the evolutionary history of our species, and many others, back to our shared origins 3.7 billion years ago...
