I guess this is still the old sample.

He didn't have any matches. His ethnicity was all messed up too.
Oetzi is the black bands. The orange bands are other ancient samples that I match with. (The "matches" are very small fragments)
Oetzi wasn't particularly old compared to the others and he was more well preserved. I had higher matches with Neanderthals..LOL
