The biggest difference between Otzi and all of us is that he didn’t have a smart phone. His behavior was human and no doubt had a personality that we would recognize immediately. Some of his neighbors were satisfied to live their lives inside the village, rarely leaving the comfort and security that it offered. Others were loners and made their living hunting, gathering, and making long distance trading ventures. Those people may not have been liked by the villagers and may have been distrusted. I suspect that such dust ups experienced by Otzi wasn’t that rare. The villages needed people like Otzi to bring exotic goods, information of what was going on on the other side of the mountain, and bring new technology. Did he commit a transgression? Perhaps.
He tried to send for help on his Blackberry, but it was an actual blackberry.
