Ötzi the Iceman has no living female relatives, as his maternal genetic branch is now extinct, says a new research into the genetic history of the 5,300-year-old mummy.

The announcement comes a week after researchers published the results of a genetic analysis which established the Copper Age man was infected with Helicobacter pylori, the pathogen that gives people gastritis and stomach ulcers. Read more.

2016년 3월 21일, 21시 00분의 달. 오늘은 달의 96%가 차있는 날이고, 월령은 12.4입니다. #moon #sometimesmoon
오늘 하루 무사히(?) 잘 보내셨나요. 월요일 밤에 보는 달입니다. 다들 쉽게 보실 수 있죠. 아주 밝게 빛나고 있네요. 달은 거의 다 차올랐습니다. 아마도 내일과 모레는 꽉 찬 달을 볼 수 있지 않을까 싶네요. 날씨가 허락한다면 말이죠. (날짜상으로 보름은 수요일입니다.) 편안한 밤 보내세요.
