The story
More than 50,000 years ago, a man walked out of Africa. His sons, and their sons, carried the same mark east among the very first people to settle East Asia. The D family later became rare in most places but stayed common in two: Tibet and Japan. D-CTS11577 is the old trunk both share. Every father since passed it on. You still carry it.
