Living Relatives Of Iceman Mummy Found

A reconstruction of Otzi the Iceman -- a remarkably well preserved 5,300-year-old mummy sometimes lovingly called "Frozen Frit" -- created by Dutch forensic experts. (HEIKE ENGEL-21LUX / SDTIROLER ARCHOLOGIEMUSEUM / NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC DEUTSCHLAND)
Ötzi the Iceman has at least 19 living male relatives in the Austrian Tirol, according to a genetic study into the origins of the people who now inhabit the region.
Scientists from the Institute of Legal Medicine at Innsbruck Medical University analyzed DNA samples taken from 3,700 blood donors in the Tyrol region of Austria.
During their study, they discovered that 19 individuals share a particular genetic mutation with the 5,300-year-old mummy, whose full genome was published last year.

Indeed, Ötzi’s haplogroup is very rare in Europe.

Cheddar Man had mtDNA haplogroup U5a, same as my dad's mother. (See 'Famous DNA' in my first post)

They always wondered what had happened to Uncle Oetzi!

He wanted a dollar from me.

He looks exactly like a certain branch of my kin.
They are Austrian/Welsh mutts.
It freaks me out, how much he looks like them.
[and horribly, I resemble that branch more than my own parents]

They found the remains of his mother-in-law with the remains of his wife, which explains why he was miles out in the mountains.

If that picture at the top of the thread is accurate, then I’ve been out drinking with him.
More than once.

I went to Junior High School with an Oetzi, only he ended up in jail for statuatory rape. Come to think of it, he did behave like a caveman. Hmmm. That would explain a lot.

If these guys were smart, they’d use that genetic information to establish claims for territory where the IceMan was found.
