The story
More than 50,000 years ago, a man walked out of Africa. His sons, and their sons, carried the same mark deep into Asia, where the R family likely grew. Its branches later spread across South Asia, Central Asia, West Asia and Europe, and are among the most common father lines there today. Every father since passed it on. You still carry it.
