Ötzi has conventionally been depicted with long, unkempt hair and pale skin. These interpretations arose in part from genetic sequencing1 of the mummy back in 2012. But a high-quality redo of Ötzi’s genome suggests that the iceman probably had very little hair on his head and had much darker skin than previously thought, concludes a study2 published on 16 August in Cell Genomics.

I remember where they found a female buried in the ice in Scandinavia a few thousand years ago and she was black. They buried her like she was a someone important.
