Abstract
Summary of the research findings
Archaeological findings from the European Alps provide unique insights into prehistoric life in high-altitude environments. Most prominently, the Tyrolean Iceman, dated to ∼5,300 years ago, has yielded unprecedented information about the life of Copper Age Europeans. However, the genetic structure of prehistoric Alpine populations and their relationship to present-day groups remain poorly understood.
