The Chemenjo Clan

When are we the children of CHEMENJO and when are we the children of a woman? Again, we have to delve deeper to find out where our genes may have traversed the globe so that we are here today. There are questions that must be dealt with like "So who was Chemenjo and who was the unnamed woman?"
