Ötzi the Iceman
Europe's oldest known mummy was discovered in
September 1991 in the Ötztal Alps near the Austrian /
Italian border. His remains have been dated to ca. 3300 BCE
Genetic analysis showed Ötzi to belong to the Y-chromosome
subclade G, and mtDNA subclade K1,
although in both cases he is not assignable to to any extant
subtype of either clade.
