The story
More than 50,000 years ago, a woman walked out of Africa. Her daughters, and their daughters, followed the warm coasts east into southern China, where the F family grew. One of its smaller branches, F3, is found today in southern China and Vietnam, and one part of it reached Taiwan and the Philippines. Every mother since passed it on. You still carry it.
