Waxing and waning ping.

Very interesting and amazing. I can’t even imagine what it would be like 4,000 years ago....also makes me wonder how long man will live and if there is a heaven and will I have to wait thousands of years before the second coming and if there is other life in the universe and will I see my pets in heaven. I could go on....lol

Dry earwax is a Mongoloid feature. Indo-Europeans have “wet” or soft earwax.

4,000 years is but the blink of an eye.

DNA analysis of human hair preserved in Greenland's permafrost has given clues as to what the owner looked like.

Won’t it be interesting if it fails to reveal any evolutionary changes

At 4,000 years this ice guy is a youngster in comparison to the 5,300 year old Otzi .

They tried to be politically correct by giving him a name from the modern Greenlandic language, but for all we know that was an insult in the language he actually spoke (it may have meant "ignorant slut" or "Democrat").

Meanwhile, they committed a heinous offense, PC-wise: they called Kalaallit Nunaat "Greenland" (Erik the Red's name for the place).

[Waverunner]

Some paleo Americans had more common sense.

Wow! 4,000 years. I’m looking forward to the artist’s
conception of what he/she looked like - and of course
the endearing name they will give him/her when she appears
on the cover of Time.

isn’t male pattern baldness a european trait?

[blam]

"The results suggested Inuk was a male with brown eyes, dark skin, type A+ blood, shovel-shaped front teeth and was genetically predisposed to baldness and dry earwax. "

Shovel shaped teeth (Sinodontry) are peculiar to North Asians and Native Americans. Dry earwax is peculiar to Europeans and Africans...Asians have sticky ear wax.

[aruanan]

(Because Inuk clearly still had hair when he died, the scientists think he must have died young.)

Well, it was from a tuft of hair, so he could have been middle-aged.

...a male with brown eyes, dark skin, type A+ blood, shovel-shaped front teeth and was genetically predisposed to baldness and dry earwax.

The shovel-shaped incisors is characteristic of existing Asian and surviving descendants of the American tribes -- but the latter are almost entirely Type O.

If anyone had told me I’d ever be reading a thread whose main subject of discussion was earwax and its consistency, when the economy is on the edge of an abyss, I’d have called him mad.

Maybe we need to be rethinking our parameters.
