THE ROAD OF THIS LINE. GOLD COUNTRIES ARE WHERE IT IS COMMON. SHAPES ARE SCHEMATIC.

The story

More than 50,000 years ago, a man walked out of Africa. His sons, and their sons, carried the same mark along the southern coasts of Asia with some of the first people to go east. C-F1370 spread early, and its sons are found today in India, Southeast Asia, eastern Indonesia, New Guinea and Australia. Every father since passed it on. You still carry it.
