Who am I and where did I come from? When author Gary Crone set out 30 years ago to find an answer, little did he know he was embarking on an epic quest leading him across four continents and taking him over 120,000 years back in time.In One Thin Thread you will follow a deep ancestry trail from Africa to Asia and then Europe.
