Journeys is the result of a Grandfather’s desire to provide his grandsons a reference book of their Family heritage and history. Stanley uses Family migrations that take place across the earth to document the origin of many life sustaining skills of rafting, boating, sailing, animal and agriculture domestication, shepherding, military mobile artillery strategy, and basic astronomical observation and navigation. He hopes the book will inspire future Family members to continue the tradition by writing future chapters and volumes to continue and further document our Family Heritage, present their theories of historical mysteries, and tell further Family stories. Stanley explains to his grandsons that Journeys is part fiction, with literary liberties taken and so noted, to tell stories about their ancestors so that they may know their Family heritage better and provide them with an idea of how we may have evolved as a Family in this miraculous life that we are experiencing on earth. Stanley takes the reader back to the very beginnings of life on earth. He journeys from that beginning fictionally through time and human evolution, to the very start of our human life and imagines what our world was like during those earliest beginnings. This beginning and the subsequent migrations of human life are based upon the traces of DNA charting developed by the National Geographic Magazine Genome Project for the Paternal and Maternal sides of Stanley’s Family. Stanley ends with an imagined trek into possible future Family journeys. Packed with photos, images and professional illustrations throughout, Journeys offers a visual perspective of how everyday evolution may have shaped us; presents real maps from Google Earth documenting detailed migration pathways; and showcases treasured portraits of ancestors and photos of homesteads, and the complete National Geographic Magazine genome project developed for the Author’s genealogy.
