The story
More than 50,000 years ago, a woman walked out of Africa. Her daughters, and their daughters, carried line R into West Asia, where the HV family likely grew. Its largest branch, H, is today the most common mother line of Europe and West Asia. Smaller branches are found in Iran, Central Asia and India. Every mother since passed it on. You still carry it.
