Wanderlists can be as specific as “My Trip to Tokyo” or as broad as “Swimming Holes Worldwide.”AFAR Media also publishes AFAR magazine, now in its third year and growing aggressively.

Examples of AFAR in a Sentence

1. Olga Ruiz:

   We used to think that A. anamensis gradually turned into A. afarensis over time, we still think that these two species had an ancestor-descendent relationship, but this new discovery suggests that the two species were actually living together in the Afar for quite some time. It changes our understanding of the evolutionary process and brings up new questions -- were these animals competing for food or space ?

5. New Zealand:
