The story

More than 50,000 years ago, a man walked out of Africa. His sons, and their sons, carried the same mark to South Asia, where the H family likely grew among the early peoples of India. H-Z5857 is one of its less common branches, found today in India, Sri Lanka and nearby lands. Every father since passed it on. You still carry it.
