"Otzi" the Iceman

[flâneur]

Would it be possible to classify the guy found on the Schnalstal glacier in the Oetzal Alps. As we know he was found between Austria and Italy...he is a bit far gone but i was just curious if anyone could make anything out.

Here is a forensic reconstruction I found of him.



Here is another, it looks different than the first one though.




I found a third one, but it looks really "chinky"

I've always found this subject extremely interesting. And it just occurred to me too, how would he be classified?
Just fascinating to know our primal ancestors lived and died where we reside today (well, those in Europa).

I believe they ran a DNA test on him and discovered that genetically he comes from a K subclade which falls under the U haplogrouping. This would place him in an original Neolithic (Copper Age) Central Euro DNA grouping. That would later be subsumed under the R1A and R1B haplogroup migrations into Central Europe.

In the bottom two recreations he looks like an older Bam Margera:




IDK tough call but I'd classify Otzi as Brünn & Alpinid
