In 1991, hikers in the Alps spotted what looked like a doll frozen in the ice. It wasn’t a toy. It was a body. What police thought was a recent accident turns out to be something far stranger.

In this episode, Nate talks with author and journalist Brenda Fowler about the discovery of Ötzi the Iceman and the science that helped unravel his story. What can one frozen body teach us about early human civilization? Much more than you’d think.

Brenda is the author of Iceman Uncovering the Life and Times of a Prehistoric Man Found in an Alpine Glacier.
