The story
More than 50,000 years ago, a woman walked out of Africa. Her daughters, and their daughters, followed the coasts east and then turned north, where the G family grew. One branch, G1, went to the far northeast of Asia, around Kamchatka and Japan, and is found in small numbers in China. Every mother since passed it on. You still carry it.
