The human body is a meticulous record keeper. Every meal, every bout of sickness, every environmental exposure leaves its mark on our tissues
Modern science, through advanced techniques in genetics, biochemistry, and imaging, can read these records, offering insights not just into individual health but also into our ancestral past. One of the most fascinating examples of this is Ötzi the Iceman, a 5,300-year-old mummy discovered preserved in the Alps.
Analysis of Ötzi's body has revealed an incredible amount of detail about his life and times. Scientists have determined his age at death, his likely occupation, and even his diet—his last meal consisted of wild grains and meat, indicating a balanced use of available resources. Isotopic analysis of his tooth enamel has provided clues about his geographic origin and migrations during his lifetime. Furthermore, the contents of his intestines and the condition of his teeth have told us about the diseases he suffered and his dietary patterns over the years.
