Ötzi's genome released

[Goga]

According to me the "Gedrosia" component has something to do with Central Asia and to be more precisely with the speakers of East Iranic language like Scythians. But then again I don't understand why East European don't have that Gedrosian component.

???

I would also note that the West Asian component was, in total, 1.4% for Ötzi. Looks like R1b peoples really did bring all that West Asian admixture we see in Europe today.

Considering that the K7b run probably gives a better idea of the real West Asian (no correlation in some cases with the K12b experiment), I definitely agree with your analysis.

I expected a very different picture. Surprising the strong connection with present Sardinians.

To be more precise, the museum claims Ötzi was from Tamins-Carasso-Isera 5 Culture, which was influenced by the Remedello Culture. I need to learn more about Otzi ，he did not drink cow milk ?
