The story
More than 50,000 years ago, a man walked out of Africa. His sons, and their sons, carried the same mark into West Asia, where the G family likely grew. Its branch G-P15 is most common in the Caucasus today, and likely travelled with early farmers into Europe. Some sons went east to Pakistan and India. Every father since passed it on. You still carry it.
