The story
More than 50,000 years ago, a woman walked out of Africa. Her daughters, and their daughters, followed the coasts east into southern East Asia, where the N10 family grew. It stayed rare, and today it is found in small numbers in southern China and mainland Southeast Asia. Every mother between her and you passed it on. You still carry it.
