DNA analysis of human hair preserved in Greenland's permafrost has given clues as to what the owner looked like.
A study, published in the journal Nature, says the individual's genome is the oldest to have been sequenced from a modern human.
The researchers say the man, who lived 4,000 years ago, had brown eyes and thick dark hair, although he would have been prone to baldness.
They say the genome also shows that his ancestors migrated from Siberia.
The man has been named Inuk, which means "human" in the Greenlandic language.

From a tuft of HAIR, people, or should I say “Scientists” with a hardy chuckle, came up with THIS as to how the person looked?
LOL!!!
We should NEVER, EVER have an unsolved murder when there is hair evidence found at the scene of the crime. There would be NO EXCUSE for not drawing a composite sketch for the killer or who the victim is. That is arrogant insanity.

I thought hair only held mitochondrial DNA, which would be his maternal lineage. How would they get a complete picture?
