A ‘possible’ case of Lyme disease??? Lactose intolerant???
Seriously?
They didn’t invent Lyme disease until 1975, and Lactose intolerance wasn’t invented until the 1960s... Cavemen shouldn’t be diagnosed with diseases that didn’t exist when they did.

A paleo diet was trendy with cavemen. Who would have guessed?

Re the fat: when I started calculating every morsel going into my mouth I was astonished to find that my diet each day is over 50% fat. Even when I was losing weight steadily. Fat does NOT make you fat.
His diet sounds ideal, though I dont understand the fern either, makes sense that it might be some medicine.

They can do whatever they want with this meat sack after I’m done with it, as long as it doesn’t cost my family a lot and especially if they make a little from it.
God will patch it up better than the way it was born before He hands it back to me in the Last Day.

Ive often heard theres not much different between man of several thousand years ago to man of today other than the advances brought by science and technology.
That's true, especially through better nutrition and better medical care.
Sorta blows the evolutionary theory out of the water.
No, it doesn't - 5000 years is not a very long time for a species that doesn't reproduce for a couple of decades after birth and you would not expect to see major evolutionary differences build up in that short a time frame.
There could be some hints that the guy was slightly different from modern Europeans, though - he was lactose-intolerant, which is a bit unusual for a northern European. Lactase persistence is something which evolved fairly recently and is most often found in people of European descent. Most people of non-European descent in the world today continue to be lactose-intolerant.

Or poison. Maybe that’s what killed him. Someone slipped some poison fern into his meal at a gathering. Presto new clan leader.

You’re all wrong about Otzi’s demise. He was Vince Fostered by an ancestor of Hillary’s; the Alos were the Ft. Marcy Park if the day. As to the poisonous fern, well...the poor b@stard also pissed off one of Putin’s ancestors.

During my long life and world travels, I managed to accumulate a large collection of spear points/arrowheads I picked up along the way, and what puzzles me till today is that some of the spear points/arrowheads I picked up in Peru and Bolivia are indistinguishable from some I picked up in Afghanistan and Pakistan: identical shape, size, and knapping technique.

Maybe he used the fern to wrap his food before he microwaved it.
