Description
An explicit SU(12) unification model with three light chiral families is presented which avoids any external flavor symmetries. The hierarchy of quark and lepton masses and mixings is explained by higher dimensional Yukawa interactions involving Higgs bosons containing SU(5) singlet fields with VEVs appearing at a scale 50 times smaller than the $3 \times 10^{16}$ GeV SU(12) unification scale. The model has been found to be in very good agreement with the observed quark and lepton masses
and mixings.
