Abstract

New scientific findings on the Iceman

The Iceman, commonly referred to as Ötzi, is the world's oldest glacier mummy and one of the best studied ancient humans in the world. Since the discovery of the 5300-year-old Copper Age individual in 1991, at the Tisenjoch in the Eastern Italian Alps, a variety of morphological, radiological, and molecular analyses have been applied that revealed important insights into his ancestry, his life habits and the circumstances surrounding his violent death. In more recent research, the mummy was subjected to modern research methodologies focusing on high-throughput sequence analysis of ancient biomolecules (DNA, proteins, lipids) that are still found to be preserved in his mummified tissues. Thereby, a genetic predisposition for increased risk for coronary heart disease and the stomach pathogen Helicobacter pylori were detected. This application of innovative “-omics” technologies have allowed the reconstruction of his last meal, that was mainly composed of fat and game meat from wild animals supplemented with cereals from einkorn.

那个冰人

冰人，通常被称为Ötzi，是世界上最古老的冰川木乃伊，也是世界上研究得最好的古人类之一。自从1991年在意大利东部阿尔卑斯山的Tisenjoch发现了这个5300岁的铜器时代的人以来，各种形态学、放射学和分子分析已经被应用，揭示了对他的祖先、他的生活习惯和他暴力死亡的环境的重要见解。在最近的研究中，木乃伊受到现代研究方法的影响，重点是对古代生物分子(DNA，蛋白质，脂质)进行高通量序列分析，这些生物分子仍然被发现保存在木乃伊组织中。因此，检测到冠心病和胃病原体幽门螺杆菌的遗传易感性增加。这种创新的“组学”技术的应用使他的最后一餐得以重建，这一餐主要由野生动物的脂肪和野味组成，并补充了来自玉米的谷物。
