"Ötzi the Iceman: A 5,300 Year Old Glimpse into Our Ancestral Appearance"
In the heart of the Italian Alps, a mummy was discovered frozen in time, preserved for over 5,000 years. Meet Ötzi, also known as the iceman. He was a hunter-gatherer who lived during the Copper Age, and his body holds clues about what life was like for our ancestors.
Ötzi stood about 5 feet 5 inches tall, with dark hair, a beard, and brown eyes. His skin was likely darkened by the sun, and his teeth were worn down from chewing tough food. But how does he compare to modern man?
Although he had wider shoulders and a gap in his teeth, Ötzi was fundamentally similar to us. He had the same basic body plan and was capable of the same physical feats. He reminds us of our shared history as a species, and of our common humanity that transcends time and space.
As we learn more about Ötzi and his life, we gain a deeper understanding of our own evolution and the many ways in which we are still the same. Join us on a journey through time and space as we explore the life and legacy of Ötzi, the iceman.
