my first thought
Descendants, or cousins with close common ancestry at least.
Great thread.

His DNA subtypes are common to Corsica and Sardinia currently. They may have been more widespread in earlier times.
;^)
Thanks, and I wholeheartedly agree. The only thing that would improve this is if Oetzi had been discovered to have been carrying cheese, or better yet, ice cream. :^)
I enjoy reading the different humorous theories about ol’ Otzi.
It reminds me of my kitchen table. It’s a beautiful, solid maple table (from the 40s? 50s? 60s?) that I scored at a thrift shop for 100 bucks. Its simple but interesting style and woodgrain say, “I’m a timeless American classic.”.
It was well cared for. Now it is likely living far from its birthplace.
I sometimes wonder what life it lived. How many homework assignments were done on it? What were Mom’s special recipes? Did it belong to one family, then the younger generation needed to clear out the grandparents’ barn? What family stories does it know? How many secrets?
There’s no price on the mysterious history that came along with the table. Or the wonder it inspires.
“He warn’t no ways tahrrred! He come too fahrrr!”
Before I get crazy (which will happen), and build a nice list of the possible reasons Oetzi was rubbed out, drawn from this topic, I'll add one more -- he was killed by the sodbusters!
:^)
I have the same problem, and my old Blackberry is not even good for bait in dead fall traps.
Sharp enough to penetrate, but appears unbalanced so it might not fly true.
Thank you!!
Thank you! Your post sent me down some interesting DNA rabbit holes.
I bought a 3/8 drill from there for a few bucks.
The chuck was frozen and I cooked the drill trying to loosen it.
Those 99 dollar engines are awesome.
I’ve got three of them on go karts.
They cribbed Honda so closely the parts interchange.
Can you be a criminal if there are no laws yet?
;^) BTW, that was a purloined bit of humor.
purloined? Is that the little bit at the end of the sirloin? or is purloin the sirloin on cats?
