'It was very very good': Ötzi the Iceman's body is covered in ancient yeast — and scientists just used it to make a sourdough
'It was very very good': Ötzi the Iceman's body is covered in ancient yeast — and scientists just used it to make a sourdough A new study cultivated four strains of cold-adapted yeasts that had colonized Ötzi's body shortly after his death 5,300 years ago in the Alps. Ötzi the Iceman's skin and stomach are teeming with yeasts that infiltrated his remains shortly after his murder 5,300 years ago — and some may still be active, a new study reveals. The yeast strains covering his body are...
