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 east until the line reached East Asia, where the N family likely grew. Many N branches went north, but N-F2930 stayed mainly in China, and is found today among Chinese families and their neighbours. Every father since passed it on. You still carry it.
