Iceman’s Clothing Helps Date Domesticated Animals’ Arrival In Europe

Thanks to a genetic analysis of Otzi the Iceman’s clothing, we now know that the sheepskins he was wearing were more closely related to today’s domesticated sheep than wild sheep. That means 5,300 years ago humans in Europe had domesticated sheep. Given that the species was first domesticated in the Fertile Crescent around 10,500 years ago, Otzi’s clothing gives us a better timeline of when the new and useful species made it to Europe.
