The 5,300-Year-Old Man Found Frozen In The Alps — And The DNA Test That Revealed His Hidden Origins
Johannes Krause, one of the lead researchers on the 2023 analysis, put this in remarkable historical context.
He noted that people who lived in Europe between 40,000 years ago and 8,000 years ago were as dark as people in Africa, which makes sense because that is where modern humans originated.
“We have always imagined that they became light-skinned much faster,” Krause said.
“But now it seems that this happened actually quite late in human history.”
Ötzi’s dark skin was not an anomaly.
