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 very first people to settle Asia. The C family spread wide, from India and Southeast Asia to Mongolia, Japan and Australia, and its sons are found across Asia today. Every father since passed it on. You still carry it.
