Otzi Research Paper

Otzi shows us that life for early humans was based on a lot of human interaction. Some would think of early humans as these non-intellectual, gorilla-like species that liked to hit rocks together and make grunting noises. They were much more than that. The discovery of Otzi’s body shows us this. He shows us that early humans lived in groups, and like today, they communicated with each other. Maybe even a lot more than most think. They worked together in groups to create tools and other material objects in order to survive through communication. I doubt that Otzi alone would have been able to construct everything he had on him when he died. When he died, scientists found multiple objects and tools that proves this. On him he had a copper

axe, something so extremely rare that Otzi at the time may have been portrayed to other homo sapiens as extremely powerful or as a great leader.They were also really quite advanced for early age homo sapiens. It was probably someone older with a lot more experience who taught the others how to do what they knew how to do. (Add evidence about medicine he had on him, tools, and clothing). Otzi the Iceman and knew how to deal with it, “looking at the supplies and clothing Otzi had on him when he died, it was all quite advanced. Especially the copper axe he was found with”

This is also a part of why homo sapiens at the time were more advanced than we give them, and that they had begun to form groups with each other. I think Otzi may have been either some kind of leader of a group, or some sort of traveller, collecting all kinds of things. Although I doubt some traveller would be able to get a hold of that axe. It was ancient and at the time it must’ve looked like an incredibly powerful weapon, or maybe a sign of great power. Could be why he died even.
