The story

More than 50,000 years ago, a man walked out of Africa. His sons, and their sons, carried the same mark east with some of the first people to settle Asia, where the C family grew. One branch, C-F1067, grew in East Asia, and today it is found in many Chinese, Korean and Mongolian families. Every father since passed it on. You still carry it.
