How old it is

This branch split from its parent about 65,900 years ago (between 62,700 and 69,100).

Every man who carries it today descends from one man who lived about 48,800 years ago (between 46,400 and 51,300).

Every test reads your line to a different depth. One report says J1, another J-P58, another a code four steps further down — all of them are right, the longer one is simply more detailed. HealthOS reads as deep as your file allows.
