As the distinguished American Anthropologist, Melville Herskovits, once put it, "To give the Negro an appreciation of his past is to endow him with the confidence in his own position in this country and in the world which he must have and which he can best attain when he has available a foundation of scientific...

With Heyerdahl sailed an oddly assorted crew of six: a Russian doctor, an Italian mountain climber, a Mexican anthropologist, an Egyptian judo champion, and Abdullah, a desert dweller from Chad who did not even know the sea was salt. The only real sailor on board was a New York building contractor named Norman Baker, an old Navyman...
