The pearl octopuses, so named because from a distance they look like scattered gems, seek out warm water seeping through the seabed and use it to speed up the hatching of their eggs

taylorvich writes:https://newatlas.com/science/otzi-iceman-genome-appearance-genetics/Otzi the Iceman is one of the most well-studied individuals in human history, but there always seems to be more to learn about him. A new genomic study has now found that he didn't look the way previous studies had imagined him - instead he was bald, his skin was darker, and he had an ancestry that was far more exotic and isolated than previously thought.In September 1991, two hikers discovered a human body in the Alps near the Austria and Italy border. At first they assumed they'd stumbled on an unlucky modern mountaineer, but on closer, scientific investigation, it was determined that the chap had died about 5,300 years ago. In the three decades since his discovery, Otzi has been studied extensively, with scientists able to figure out what he ate, how he dressed, how he lived and how he died.His full genome was published in 2012, allowing scientists to reconstruct an image of what he might have looked like. From that data, Otzi was imagined as a fairly light-skinned man with a bushy beard, a thick head of unkempt hair, deep-set eyes and wrinkled skin beyond his 45 years of life. But a new study, using more comprehensive genomic analysis techniques, upends much of that picture.Previously:
