THE ROAD OF THIS LINE. GOLD COUNTRIES ARE WHERE IT IS COMMON. SHAPES ARE SCHEMATIC.
The story
More than 50,000 years ago, a woman walked out of Africa. Her daughters, and their daughters, followed the coasts east to South Asia, where the M33 family likely grew. Most of its branches stayed in India and nearby lands. One branch is found further east, in southern China and Southeast Asia. Every mother since passed it on. You still carry it.
