Otzi The Iceman Research Paper

Have you ever heard about Otzi the Iceman? The man who was found in 1991 by hikers completely frozen in ice? The man’s corpse that is 5,300 years old and was preserved in ice? If yes, let me tell you a little more about him. If no, why don’t I tell you who he is,what happened to him, and what he did.

Otzi, they say, was the leader of a group of early people. And he was the oldest person of that time, and had many health issues. One of his health issues was that had heart disease. Also, they found that Otzi had anatomical abnormalities, such as no wisdom teeth and he was missing a 12th pair of ribs. From the evidence that the historians found, Otzi was most likely not favored among leaders, so he most likely, from the to-be leader of the

group, was hunted down and stabbed or shot in the back by an arrow. Even though the wood from the arrow was pulled out from either a colleague, or the person who shot him, the arrow head was still in his body. Immediately after Otzi was shot he died because the arrow hit one of his vital arteries. After Otzi was found by the hikers he was studied, and that is when they found out how he died, how old he was, and his health issues. Researchers found 19 known relatives, located in Austria. They were found by 3,700 anonymous blood donors for the locating of Otzi relatives.

Even though we have found out a plethora of things about the past there is still much to be found. Thus, early humans, or hominids, were not like us, therefore they have different qualities, and similar qualities. However, people have evolved in many ways, including culture, ideas, and physical features. Otzi, was one of those early people, but preserved in ice so we can better understand early humans. Hopefully, you joyed my paper and even learned a little, I know I did. Thank you for your time and your consideration.
