Un articolo di Ars Technica descrive che cosa si è scoperto dall’esame del DNA estratto dai vestiti di Ötzi, l’Uomo del Similaun.

For the past two decades, scientists have analyzed every minute detail of Ötzi, a 5,300-year-old natural mummy found in the ice of the Italian Ötztal Alps. But one remaining mystery was the provenance of his clothing, made from leather and fur. Now, thanks to refined techniques in DNA sequencing, a team of scientists has identified how the clothing was made – and discovered something surprising about Ötzi’s domestic habits.
