The story
More than 50,000 years ago, a woman walked out of Africa. Her daughters, and their daughters, followed the coasts east into East Asia, where the N9 family grew. From it came Y, and from Y came Y2, a line of the islands, found today mostly in the Philippines and Indonesia. Every mother since passed it on. You still carry it.
