    Interesting vid! Ötzi was discovered on Italian-Austrian border and there was a dispute between the two countries over who would get Ötzi's body. I remember musing at the time that the crux of the issue was whether Ötzi was a "dumb Italian who was overwhelmed by the snow or a dumb German who was overwhelmed by the snow?" This video answers this question and Ötzi was genetically more Italian/southern European. For those who don't already know, there's a nice museum built around his body and the gear he had with him in Bolzano (Bozen in German), Italy. I visited it some 20 years ago and was favorably impressed.

    • @nirfz

      @@mwj5368 My initial comment was largely in jest, but the initial assumption was that Ötzi was overwhelmed by elements. I saw him in the museum in either the summer of 2000 or 2001. They had not yet discovered the arrowhead buried in his back which is what they believe killed him. The neat thing about the museum is that they highlight all the gear he had with him. When his body emerged from the glacier, he looked like he was naked. However, careful examination of the site uncovered all his clothing and showed that he was well-dressed for his environment at the time of his death. They put great emphasis on the hatchet he had with him which was much better crafted than anything previously discovered from that era. According to the museum, this indicated he was an important person within his tribe. As to the final fight that cost him his life, I seem to recall reading that traces of human blood not belonging to Ötzi were found on him, indicating the he may have killed some of his attackers. Also, the fact that his body hadn't been looted of all his valuables possibly indicates he was involved in a fight to the death in which no one emerged victorious.

    A population moved from North Africa, into the Middle East, then into Turkey. Thousands of years later, they were the 'Anatolian' farming wave that spread through Europe, mixing some with the Middle Stone Age people of Europe who were already there. No trace of Yamnaya ancestory, which would come hundreds of years later, with the plague. The people who built Stonehenge would have been fairly closely related to the Ice Man, and not to the people who live in England today.

      Most plausible explanation: otzi was being pursued by someone who wanted him whacked. When he got hit with the arrow he probably bled out fairly soon thereafter, which is likely why there are no other wounds such as blunt force trauma etc., an indication that his killer had no need to administer a coup de grace. He was on the run and he knew that his assassin(s) were after him.

    This shows the shortcomings of heritage DNA companys. Their model assumes straight lines where none exist, especially in time. Predating most of their other samples, Otzi is from none of those places listed. Arbitrarily assigned to a modern nation based on a sample from today. He likely grew up near where he died and SOME of his ancestors were Anatolian, but he wasn't Italian or Turkish. Did 59% of his descendants go on to live in Sardinia and 1% in Nigeria? No. Can this individual snapshot of one man help us understand the complex series of migrations which took place over milennia? No. The only sound inference to make is that the gene pool was incredibly small in Otzi's time.

  • @Bodkin_Ye_Pointy
    @Bodkin_Ye_Pointy Před rokem +12

    The one thing in that I would challenge in this little presentation is not based on the DNA. It was the comment that Otzi was probably murdered based on the violence visited on his body. The point was he was a part of a migration of agrarian people pushing hunter gatherers off their range. Though Otzi was met with violence, it is possible that he was the subject of attack by those hunter gatherers who were resisting the farming community. It is also quite likely the farmers had a low view of the hunter gatherers and little regard for their life style. Consequently I see it as more likely that Otzi was a victim of a range war. When one is defending territory and kills the interloper for good reason, it is rarely regarded as murder and I believe the experts should be wary of assigning any character to Otzi, good or bad. But he is more likely to have been killed by the people his community is threatening in my opinion. Anyone remember the natives of Australia or the USA?

      3rd, because the plant rests, such as pollen and so, found in his remains indicate that he made a rapid ascent in his last 2 or 3 days of life to the isolated area where he finally died, wich suggests that he could be fleeing from someone.
      Of course it's not likely that we get to know what actually happend, and these are no indisputable proof of a murder, but the evidence points more to murder than a self defense homicide.

      @@miastupid7911 I will be sure to read up on the Wikipedia page. I got my souvenir stuff out and the museum with Otzi mummy in it is in Bolzano Italy. The living people in the town looked very Germanic to me. Not at all like the Southern Italians. I'm sure it’s two different DNA streams that created these different phenotypes. Anyway, it was a great life accomplishment to see the man from 5,200 years ago. He’s so small by today’s standards.

    I think what the DNA results are showing is that Sardinians are 51% Otzi and Iberians are 31%....

    I read he actually has living relatives in Austria.They traced down his family from DNA.Does Ötzi the Iceman have relatives?
    No next-of-kin was around to claim the frozen 5,300-year-old body of Ötzi the Iceman when it was found in the Italian Alps in 1991, but researchers now report that there are at least 19 genetic relatives of Ötzi living in Austria's Tyrol region.

      As his matrilineal K Haplo group is unique to him (as so far identified), that would have to mean potentially paternal lineage relations.

      @robertolang9684 otzi isn't Indo-European, and the Major Y-DNA in Portugal is R1b which came from first Indo-European Bell Beaker settles and Celts, followed by I2 and G2a y-dna which is descended from Western Farmers then E1b1b from EEF or IBM ancestry.

    Plot twist: Ötzi stole that food. He was a thief and/or murderer who was tracked down by some relatives of the people he injured or killed. He was chased with the intent to leave him to die from the wounds and exposure. Ötzi had some old school justice dealt out.
