The mummy was named Otzi with genetic traces of many other prehistoric European human genomes. It was explained that Otzoi had something in common with hundreds of Europeans living in that period.
“Genomic analysis revealed phenotypic traits such as high skin pigmentation, dark eye color, and male pattern baldness in stark contrast to previous reconstructions that showed a fair-skinned, light-eyed, moderately haired male,” he said Johannes Krause of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology. in Germany.
“The mummy’s skin was previously thought to have darkened during storage in ice, but it’s possible that what we see now is actually mostly Otzi’s original skin color,” he continued, hinting that his latest findings were inversely proportional to the previous ones. results.
