0:00:10.665,0:00:12.848
For all its material advantages,

0:00:12.870,0:00:16.520
the sedentary life has left us... edgy

0:00:16.524,0:00:18.251
unfulfilled

0:00:18.286,0:00:22.557
Even after 400 generations in villages and cities

0:00:22.587,0:00:25.245
We haven't forgotten

0:00:25.274,0:00:29.036
The open road still softly calls

0:00:29.048,0:00:33.448
like a nearly forgotten song of childhood

0:00:52.296,0:00:57.059
We invest far-off places with a certain romance

0:00:57.067,0:01:00.776
The appeal, I suspect, has been meticulously crafted

0:01:00.805,0:01:04.507
by natural selection as an essential element in our survival

0:01:04.519,0:01:08.362
Long summers, mild winters

0:01:08.399,0:01:12.070
rich harvests, plentiful game

0:01:12.115,0:01:14.399
none of them lasts forever

0:01:14.444,0:01:17.278
Your own life, or your band's

0:01:17.315,0:01:21.239
or even your species' might be owed to a restless few

0:01:21.270,0:01:25.682
drawn, by a craving they can hardly articulate or understand

0:01:25.726,0:01:30.140
to undiscovered lands and new worlds

0:01:45.079,0:01:51.663
Herman Melville, in Moby Dick, spoke for wanderers in all epochs and meridians

0:01:51.690,0:01:53.192
he said:

0:01:53.220,0:01:59.006
"I am tormented with an everlasting itch for things remote.

0:01:59.043,0:02:04.106
I love to sail forbidden seas"

0:02:57.728,0:02:59.939
Maybe it's a little early—

0:02:59.975,0:03:02.115
maybe the time is not quite yet—

0:03:02.138,0:03:07.134
but those other worlds, promising untold opportunities

0:03:07.143,0:03:07.913
beckon

0:03:09.285,0:03:13.958
Silently, they orbit the sun

0:03:14.376,0:03:15.522
waiting
