Uncle Otzi?

Here he is - the 5,000 year old man with whom I share my Haplogroup. The remains of "Otzi the Iceman" were discovered well-preserved in snow in the Italian Alps. Scientists were able to extract a wealth of information from samples of his DNA that link our genes - including enough data to reconstruct what he looked like (a little like my brother!)
