The 5,300-Year-Old Man Found Frozen In The Alps — And The DNA Test That Revealed His Hidden Origins
We are, all of us who can trace any part of our ancestry to the European Neolithic and its successors, distantly and obliquely connected to the man in the ice.
He is, in that sense, not just a scientific specimen.
He is, however remotely, ours.
And we are, however remotely, his.
The Headline, Answered
The headline of this article promised a 5,300-year-old man found frozen in the Alps, and a DNA test that revealed hidden origins.
The man was found.
His origins have now been most precisely characterized by the 2023 genome analysis, which corrected the contaminated 2012 results and produced a clearer, more accurate picture of who Ötzi was genetically.
