El hombre de hielo no está “inerte”: hallan bacterias vivas y microbios de hace 5000 años

Scientists have discovered living bacteria and ancient microbes in Ötzi the Iceman's mummy, which dates back 5000 years, after decades of analysis. This finding not only sheds light on the microbial life present during that era but also highlights how these microorganisms played a role in Ötzi's preservation. The implications extend to understanding ancient ecosystems and the interactions between humans and microbes in prehistoric times, adding a fascinating layer to our knowledge of early human life.
