The story
More than 50,000 years ago, a woman walked out of Africa. Her daughters, and their daughters, followed the warm coasts east, and somewhere between India and Southeast Asia the M50 family grew. It has always been rare, and it is found today in small numbers in Southeast Asia. Every mother between her and you passed it on. You still carry it.
